Its rightly said that ‘leaders are not born, they are made’. The investiture ceremony is one of the most important ceremonies of the school. It's a tradition, eagerly awaited by all the students of the school. Years after year, it reminds us of the trust and confidence that we repose on our newly elected student council. They pledge to dispense their duties to the best of their abilities and abide by the rules and regulations of the school. 26th July 2019 was one of the most memorable moment for BTGS as on this day the first council of students was formed and they took the pledge to shoulder their responsibility in the presence of Academic Director, Ms Shobha Padarha and Principal, Ms Vinita Sharma.

Parent Orientation Program at BTGS

A parent is a teacher at home and a teacher is a parent in school and the child is the centre of our universe.”

The second Parent orientation program(POP) was organised on 22nd June for the new and existing parents to familiarise them, “as partners in progress” with the curriculum, rules and regulations of the school, teaching methodologies and the co-scholastic activities.

Taking a theme the teachers enacted a typical classroom scenario at BTGS integrating various subjects using the multiple intelligences where few of the parents were requested to enact as the school students.

The POP was much appreciated and turned out to be a successful event as all parents enjoyed the session.

Guru Poornima at BTGS (16-07-2019)

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः

गुरु साक्षात परब्रह्मा तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः

"The best form of worship of the guru is to follow his teachings, to shine as the very embodiment of his teachings, and to propagate his glory and his message."

The concept of Guru is as old as humanity itself. The word Guru is derived from two Sanskrit words “Gu” and “Ru” of which the former means ignorance and darkness in a person and the latter means someone who removes that darkness from the person, Primarily, Guru means a 'teacher', it is a universal concept based on the idea of transmitting knowledge from a person, who knows something, to an ignorant student or disciple.

In the modern times, we see Guru in the form of a teacher who shares knowledge in the form of education to their students. Whatever be it he serves the role of a guide who takes his/her students to the path of righteousness and makes them good people to live in the society.

Van Mahotsava (05-07-2019)

The name Van Mahotsava means" FESTIVAL OF FORESTS". It has gained significant national importance and every year, millions of saplings are planted across India in observation of Van Mahotsav week.

The declining number of trees has brought a major change in climate, hence a dire necessity of festivals like Van Mahotsav, to restore the forest cover in the country.

We should plant trees like:

पिचुमन्दः = नीम

न्यग्रोधः = वट वृक्ष

चिञ्चिणी = इमली

कपित्थः =Wood apple

बिल्वः = बेल

आमलकः = आंवला

आम्रः = आम

इन सारे वृक्षों का वृक्षारोपण करना चाहिए।

Joining hands in this mission our school also celebrated Van Mahotsav with a massive awareness and educational purpose. With activities, performances and plantation by the junior and senior section.

Students of grade KG-VIII asked for Donation of saplings from their neighbourhood and took a promise to protect the mother Earth by planting in abundance and protecting them.

Students exhibited their innovations by redesigning the plastic waste into beautiful pots to plant the sapling, students took the Mahotsav ahead with a scintillating programme in the atrium with a mesmerizing dance to a melodious tune.

Towards the end, students took pledge to save and take care of the plants in the campus after planting them.

Yoga Day at BTGS

International Yoga Day also called as world Yoga Day, is celebrated on the 21st of June every year ever since its inception in 2015, is a great effort to emphasize the importance of inculcating this ancient Indian art in our lives. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and well-being.

In series of World Environment Day BTGS at Akanksha institute of learning and empowerment.

On 10th June, in series of World Environment Day, teachers of BTGS performed a street play “Pani Re Pani” at Aakanksha institute of learning and Empowerment, Avanti Vihar Raipur Chhattisgarh. It was to bring awareness about usage of water and saving the environment, humour was added to the play by relating it with real life situations, which tickled the audience and made them rethink about the present situation.

Environment Day at Brahmavid

On 5th June, World Environment Day, teachers of BTGS performed a street play “Pani Re Pani” at Wallfort City and Wallfort Heights, Bhatagaon. It was to bring awareness about usage of water and saving the environment, humour was added to the play by relating it with real life situations, which tickled the audience and made them rethink about the present situation.

Day 7: We all woke up to a warm morning and ready for the Safari at the stipulated time. Previous night was very windy and we were sceptical of encountering rain in the morning. Travelling through the lanes of Ramnagar and Kosi Dam we reached the Sitamani Gate on time. Being a Sunday there was a long queue of Green Gypsy's at the check point waiting for the entry. We had a waiting period of about 45 mins which gave us an opportunity to click few selfies and grab some chai, juice and packaged snacks.

The Safari inside the Jungle was a mixed bag, on one hand it's very disappointing to see our jungles which were once full of wild animals now see more visiting humans and very few or no sighting of animals, on the other hand children enjoyed the fun off road riding inside the jungle. We are tons of flying dust from the Gypsy's driving ahead which compensated for an early breakfast.

Post Safari children were excited to Jump in the pool located in the resort and were obliged for the same after the late breakfast.

We checked out from the resort at around 3 PM and had 5-6 hours to do some local sight seeing which turned out to be a sweet experience. Visited the Corbett Tiger Reserve Museum and Girija Devi Temple ( pronounced as Garjia by our coach) which is located on a small hill in between the Kosi River. The Sun was setting by the time we reached the temple area and witnessed a beautiful evening amidst the setting sun putting our feet down in the water.

Moved for dinner to a location in Ramnagar about 10 minuted drive from the Railway station. The dinner finished around 9:00 and we moved to the Railway station from there.

The train was scheduled to depart at 10 and we had around 30 mins to plan the berth allocation which were scattered in two adjacent compartments. "Corbett Link" express as it is called starts from Ramnagar however it came on the platform just 5 mins before the departure which gave us very little time to board the train and settle down. However, the planning we did in those 30 mins helped us to avoid the confusion and settled us quickly.

Train departed on time and children got good hour or so of time to have some humour and few clicks on the way to reach our destination "Purani Dilli" at 3:55 AM, yes, so early in the morning that we hardly caught up with some sleep.

Day 8: Final day arrived finally

We reached at our hotel located in South Delhi around 5:00 AM and asked the troupe to freshen up by 6:30 AM to prevent them to go to sleep. If we allowed the children to sleep at that time then it would have been difficult to make them get up on time. So we all were ready by 6:30 -7:00 AM and took our breakfast so that we can make an early start for the Delhi sightseeing which has some of the most prominent landmarks of our country. We also got a chance to sing a birthday song for Madhav Gupta who happened to have his birthday on 13th May. We had in our plans to do a grand birthday celebration during the afternoon lunch.

The sightseeing started in a very comfortable luxury bus from Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament, India Gate, Supreme Court etc. Our program was to have lunch and Ice Cream at Nirula's which is a very old and famous food joint located within the Connaught Place area. We were an hour early for the lunch and hence decided to cover Jantar Mantar which means that there was a longer walk under scorching Delhi sun nearing 40 degrees celsius. We choose to take that option and was well worth it.

Going through the Outer circle to the inner circle on top of the Palika Bazar and asking for the directions finally we reached Nirula's. The children had a blast there with Pizzas, Burgers, Shakes and Ice cream along with the cake cutting ceremony of the Birthday boy.

Post lunch we proceeded to the Indra Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3 and reached there about 3 hours in advance so that we have sufficient time to go through the procedures and also catchup with some shopping at the Airport. We went through as per plan and was passed security by 4:00 PM which gave us good hour or so of leisure time. Children encountered the vending machines near the departure gates and that became a sort of a playing machine for them. The flight departed on time at 6 PM.

On reaching Raipur the children had a mixed feeling of Joy of reaching home after 8 long days and on the other hand sadness of saying goodbye to their friends and leaving behind the fun filled activities. Indeed it was a lifetime experience for all of us which will fill our hearts with Joy and these memories would be cherished forever.

With this TEAM Brahmavid would be signing off till the next adventure trip which is already under consideration.

Day 5: Camp Twilight is a very different location from Camp Pine Riveria, Twilight is located in a Jungle setting with forest all around and you can view clear night sky's and stars without interference of any artificial lights. Dining area sets in the setting perfectly with the pine wood and neat and clean washrooms. Morning regime started with some interesting activities and few volley ball matches which children played with full vigour.

The main adventure activities for the first half were firefox and freefall, in the second half it was Zipline. All these activities are full of fun and helps in taking out fear of height from our mind. We appreciate the efforts put in by our trainers who take utmost care of our security, have patience and encourage the children to overcome the fear.

The evening was eventful and another type of learning, the two groups were assigned the task of cooking maggi in the Jungle using the natural wood, stones were used to make the traditional chulha and all team members were required to participate. The whole exercise turned out to be great fun amidst bit of chaos and we all enjoyed the outcome and coaches gave points to the team on the overall process and the taste of the prepared dish.

Post cooking session was one of the mesmerising experience for us all, we proceeded for a night trek under the moonlight. It was sight to behold with children of all sizes climbing the mountain under moonlight and able guidance of the coaches. Halfway of the trek it was all under moonlight then we used our torches to lit the path. Once we reached the summit all children were mesmerised to see the view from the top and all went silent in a meditative mode. The sound of wind was coming intermittently and was touching our souls, its an experience which none of us would ever forget in our lifetime.

We started our decent after staying at the top of the summit from about half an hour, the decent was much easier and when we reached the camp there was more surprises in store. Our coaches organised Kumaon folk song program which gave us a feel of the region. Our children also performed Chhattisgari folk song "Mahua Jhare" which they had prepared for the School Annual Function.

The eventful and satisfying day culminated with the dinner and we all went to bed with stars and moon in our eyes.

Day 6: Final day at the camp was focused towards the obstacles which tests the balancing skills and the physical strength, post breakfast we were introduced to the obstacle course and all children participated in all obstacles with great focus and vigour.

Once we completed the activity it was time for Lunch and Thanks giving to all coaches and other supporting staff of the camp.

With a heavy heart we then proceeded towards trekking down to our last destination "Jim Corbett" park which is situated near Ramnagar. Enroute we stopped at the small and lovely museum set amidst the colonial era and dedicated to Sir Jim Corbett who's life has been dedicated to preserve the wild life of the Kumaon region.

Children were bit bogged down by the winding ghat roads and were feeling bit nauseating, so we decided to have nice soda lemonade prepared by a local hawker using the Bisleri water, it gave all of us great relief coming down from cool mountains to the hotter plains.

We reached our destination "Auro Resort" before sunset and settled down for a small DJ evening followed by the dinner.

The day winded down with the message from the organisers to be ready and meet at sharp 5:30 AM to start for the Jungle Safari.

Day 3: Children had a wake up time at 5:30 AM and were asked to take Milk and biscuits at 6:30 AM. Exercises and Energisers were taken up at 7:00 which was followed by a free time from 8:30 to 9:00.

Sumptuous Breakfast was served at 9:00 which was followed by a 30 mins rest period. This regime was followed on all other days at both the camps.

The first activity of the day was Jumaring which tests the upper body strength to climb the rope using the Jumar and reach the top where it is tied. The location for the Jumaring was besides beautiful flowing streams of the river.

These were followed by the diving in the river from a small cliff, off course wearing the life jackets, this helps in overcoming the fear of height and also lots of fun :). Post diving everyone had lunch and took rest.

In the second half it was more adventure and i.e. River crossing using Taroline Traverse and Rappling which is climbing down a large cliff using rope, both these activities helps in gaining self confidence and win over fear of height.

Evening we were served with bread pakoras for snacks and hot drink and was again followed by DJ which were the dance numbers chosen by children.

DJ numbers were followed by the Dinner to conclude the day 3.

Day 4: After the morning regime it was time to say goodbye to the New Horizon team of Camp Pine Riveria and move on to Camp Twilight which is located to the West of Nainital on the way to Ramnagar. We travelled via Nainital and on the way witnessed a planned forest fire. Upon reaching Nainital we choose to cross the magnificent Naini lake over boat and reach the other side where the famous Naina Devi temple (one of many shakti peeth's) is located. We all had a great darshan and gave sometime to children to carry out some shopping which they were quite excited for. Children were seen using their judgement and suggestion about the value of the products and we were impressed to see that they know how to make the correct choices.

While shopping we had some local berries and followed by delicious Chinese food at a local restaurant chosen by the organisers.

Post lunch we continued our journey in Jeeps to Bajoon a small town from where we had to climb up to the Camp Twilight on foot.

As the Trek to the camp was log we decided to carry only the baggage which was needed for the next two days and left remaining at a safe place provided by the organisers at Bajoon. Children were very enthusiastic about the trek and it was heartening to see older children helping the younger ones during the trek. Sharing and caring are the qualities which cannot be taught in a classroom environment and needs to be experienced during such programs.

We reached the camp well before sunset and were greeted by our new coaches followed by snacks, some volleyball matches, bonfire and dinner. Concluded our day with Light out around 10:15 PM amidst the barking of the barking deer in the background.

By the time we came out of the Airport it was noon and met our tour coordinator cum trainer Mr Amir. The bus was delayed in arriving so by the time we left Delhi after Lunch it was 2:30 PM.

The journey although longer than expected was full of fun where jokes were cracked, there was a long Antakshari session and children played games in groups.

By the time we reached the Camp it was 11 PM, there was a walk of half a KM down the hill on a very narrow lane to reach the Campsite.

This was the first encounter for the children with adventure to walk in the night with their rucksacks tucked on the back.

The dinner was kept ready and there was some issue with the water supply, by the time everyone settled down and went to bed it was 1 AM at night.

So a long day came to an end with calming effect of the river flowing besides the campsite which is situated inside a Valley.

Day 2: First day at the Camp Pine Riviera children were woken up in a relaxed manner at 7:30 AM instead of the scheduled time of 6:00 AM. Everyone woke up to a warm drink with snacks and which was followed by the acclimatising activities and exercises.

Children were divided into two Groups for the whole duration which started with Kayaking. The river water was extremely cold and one by one with reluctance everyone got inside the water with the life jackets on. After proper instruction on the functioning of the Kayak the group members took their turns to paddle the Kayak.

The Leadership Program is designed to inculcate the leadership qualities in the, afternoon post lunch rest there were activities around team building, collaboration, communication. Team leaders were briefed of the objectives and the rules which they in turn took up with their respective teams.

Later we were taken on a Trek which took us to a beautiful site which was a plain between the valley. The two teams were given a task to come up with a Team Name, Flag, Slogan and present it to all. In addition there were energizers played out with them and the slogans echoed through the Valley filling the team members with a sense of pride.

Two teams came up with their names "Savenger's of the Pine Forest" and "Adventurous Avengers", presented their flags and slogans.

In the evening children were tasked for cultural dance and song which they performed amidst bon fire with lots of enthusiasm. We witnessed lots of talent coming out of children who are generally shy and introvert in the school.

Flying to Delhi, choice of Vistara came natural to us as it flew to the Terminal 3 which is one of the busiest Airport of Asia and we wanted the children to experience how large airport functions

Baggage collection was an event by itself, all bags were tagged with names so that identifying them was like a breeze and children were excited during the collection and was a learning experience for them.
