As part of the Shiksha Saptaah (Education Week) celebrations, our school embraced the spirit of community and togetherness by organizing a Tithi Bhojan on Monday, 29th July 2024. This initiative, launched by the Government of India, aims to promote community involvement in schools and foster a sense of ownership among local communities.

The event saw enthusiastic participation from teachers who stayed back to join the hostel students for lunch. The dining hall was abuzz with excitement as teachers and students gathered, ready to share a meal and enjoy each other's company. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, reflecting the true essence of the Tithi Bhojan program.

The lunch commenced with a brief introduction to the Tithi Bhojan initiative, emphasizing its objectives and the importance of community involvement in education. Our Principal addressed the gathering, highlighting how such events strengthen the bond between students and teachers and contribute to a supportive and nurturing educational environment.

As the meal was served, the room filled with lively conversations and laughter. Teachers and students shared stories, discussed their experiences, and built connections beyond the classroom. This informal setting allowed everyone to relax and engage in meaningful interactions, creating a sense of unity and mutual respect.

The menu featured a variety of delicious dishes, prepared with care and love. The students were thrilled to see their teachers participating in the event, and the teachers, in turn, enjoyed the opportunity to connect with their students on a personal level. It was heartwarming to witness the camaraderie and the spirit of sharing that defined the lunch.

The Tithi Bhojan was not just about food; it was about building a community, fostering relationships, and creating a positive and inclusive school culture.
