ANANTA Interact District Conference 2024-25: Leadership, Collaboration, and Youth Service
Nine or more Interact clubs contributed presentations highlighting student-led projects, with particular attention to a program centered on bird watching as a community science effort. The SVMS Budding Achievers emerged as a standout group, earning multiple recognitions for their innovative and impactful work. The conference celebrated these achievements with several prestigious awards, reflecting a broad spectrum of contributions—from club leadership to safety awareness and public engagement. (Page 1)
Overall, the ANANTA gathering was described as a successful convergence of leadership development, cooperative effort, and a shared drive toward meaningful social impact. It exemplified Rotary’s mission to empower young people to become change-makers who can drive constructive transitions within their communities. (Page 1)
Salad Decoration Competition: Celebrating International Women's Day Through Creativity and Healthy Eating
A panel of judges evaluated entries based on uniform cutting, the inclusion of edible fruits and berries, nutritional value, originality, and overall appeal. The school leadership acknowledged the participants’ dedication, praising the parents for their creativity and enthusiasm. The session concluded with reflections from judges that underscored the value of family involvement and the energizing effect of women’s participation on the school community. (Page 2)

Great Backyard Bird Count: Student Engagement with Global Citizen Science
Teams and teachers actively documented a range of resident and migratory bird species, contributing observations to the international eBird database. The initiative was designed not only to collect data but also to deepen awareness about birds, their habitats, and broader ecological concerns. The event fostered critical inquiry, observation skills, and collaborative learning among students while highlighting the school’s commitment to environmental stewardship. (Page 3)
A curious science-related note was also included in this section, reminding readers that research has dispelled common myths about animal memory—specifically countering the notion that goldfish have extremely short memories, and presenting the idea that memory spans in some species may be longer than popularly assumed. This nod to science education reflects the magazine’s broader aim of encouraging curiosity and evidence-based thinking. (Page 3)
Republic Day Celebration: A Tapestry of Culture, Patriotism, and Reflection
Distinguished guests and school leaders participated in the day’s events, with the director welcoming attendees and underscoring the significance of the occasion. The performances by younger students—pre-primary children dancing and presenting a short drama about unity—were complemented by primary and senior sections’ looks at soldierly valor and ISRO achievements through song and dance. The event culminated in a formal awards segment recognizing top achievers, and an interactive session with parents prompted thoughtful discussion about parenting approaches. (Page 4)
Interspersed with the celebratory performances were reflections on India’s cultural mosaic, highlighting the strength that arises from unity in diversity. The program left attendees with a sense of pride and a renewed commitment to supporting students as they pursue excellence in service, learning, and leadership. (Page 4)
Vasantotsav: Welcoming Spring, Saraswati’s Blessing, and the Spirit of Learning
The day’s program included a welcome dance set to Saraswati’s blessings and a sequence of classical performances that captured the arts’ integral role in education. Students also learned about Bharuch’s history and notable landmarks during the program, linking local heritage with contemporary learning. The event concluded with the recital of a soulful hymn, underscoring the spiritual ambience of the occasion. (Page 5)
A well-chosen quotation—“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes”—accompanied the festival, inviting students to reflect on the relationship between outer exploration and inner growth. The day celebrated both the richness of cultural expression and the pursuit of knowledge, reinforcing the school’s vision of holistic development. (Page 5)
Concluding Reflections: A Year of Service, Learning, and Community
Across these pages, the bulletin sketches a vibrant calendar of activities in which students, families, and educators collaborated to advance leadership, citizenship, and environmental stewardship. The ANANTA conference, the salad-decorating contest in honor of women, the GBBC initiative, Republic Day celebrations, and the Vasantotsav festival collectively illustrate a school culture that values curiosity, teamwork, discipline, and creative expression. Each event offered opportunities for practical learning—from project planning and public speaking to data collection, teamwork, and cultural appreciation—and reinforced the school’s mission of shaping thoughtful, active global citizens. (Page 1–5)
Such a sequence of programs demonstrates how a school can serve as a laboratory for character development, civic engagement, and ecological awareness, while also fostering a sense of belonging and pride within the student body. By emphasizing service-led activities, peer mentoring, and partnerships with community organizations, the school cultivates skills that extend beyond the classroom and into everyday life. (Page 1–5)
In sum, the June–July 2025 issue of Education With Global Vision captures a period of energetic youth involvement, meaningful recognition, and a shared commitment to learning, health, and social impact. The interplay of leadership development, cultural celebration, scientific inquiry, and community service speaks to a holistic approach to education that prepares students to contribute thoughtfully and courageously to a rapidly changing world.
