The celebrations were marked by a cultural extravaganza and local talent showcase. The celebrations featured vibrant cultural performances by women and girls from the Nagrota constituency. Renowned Dogri singer Varsha Jamwal, who hails from Surinsar, Nagrota, presented a mesmerizing performance, enthralling the audience.

NAGROTA FEBRUARY 22-Describing pre-schooling crucial for nurturing young minds, Senior BJP leader Mr Devender Singh Rana today said that sensitivity, skill and patience are prerequisites for teachers to meet the challenge of shaping the destiny of children.

Inaugurating a play way play-way school started by young entrepreneurs Mrs Shivani Sharma and Vishal Sharma at Nagrota, Mr Devender Rana said care and compassion towards children is guiding philosophy for institutions taking up preschool activity.

Mr Rana said the concept of pre-schooling has gained momentum across the country in recent years and exposure to babies on wider canvass at the very onset of their life places them in good stead in the initial years of schooling. Apart from confidence, they tend to be sociable from very beginning, he said and appreciated the efforts of the private sector in meeting this challenging responsibility.

Mr Devender Rana congratulated the management for the initiative and reminded them of the great responsibility they are undertaking in grooming young babies. The idea of catching young minds, as early as the first one and half years, is not an easy task, as it requires a lot of patience and spirit of sacrifice, he felt.

Mr Rana dwelt on baby instincts in detail and said the process of learning starts as soon as a child takes the birth. “This is a universal truth that mother is the first and the best teacher of a child”, he said, adding that the pre-schooling mechanism is like sharing the responsibility of mothers. He cautioned against exposing children to negativity and called for close synergy between teachers and parents to ensure that they tread their journey on the right path.   

“The play-well schools have attained added significance with working mothers having time constraint in shouldering their responsibilities”, he said and exhorted the trainers to put in their best in filling the vacuum and supplementing efforts of healthy grooming of babies. Molding young minds towards positive pursuits is the most challenging task and much of the onus lies on teachers, who have to work with a missionary spirit to shape their destiny, he added.

Speaking on the occasion Peer Mushtaq Ahmed Bukhari, BJP leader hoped that the management will ensure conducive atmosphere, hygiene, safety and security and the prescribed norms set by the competent authority for running such schools. “The most important requirement will be to create such an atmosphere where the child feels at home and the parents feel a sense of security about their children”, he said, adding that the success of inmates depends upon the level of confidence and trust they have in each other.

Mr Devender Rana congratulated Mr. Vishal Sharma and Mrs. Shivani Sharma the Director and Principal of the School.

Those who were present on the occasion included Pt. Som Nath Khajuria, Mandal President Nagrota, Harish Sharma (Ashu), Ex- Sarpanches Pt. Rameshwar Dutt Sharma, Lala Kishore, Raman Wazir, Kulbushan Singh, Joginder Lal, Dharamveer Singh Jamwal, S. Sucha Singh, Sanjay Gupta and others.
