The Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India has recently launched ‘Prerana: An Experiential Learning program’ for students in Classes 9 to 12. Aimed at empowering students with leadership qualities, this residential program offers a unique combination of technology, heritage, and innovation.
The curriculum of the Prerana program is based on nine value-based themes: Swabhiman and Vinay, Karuna and Sewa, Vividhta and Ekta, Shaurya and Sahas, Parishram and Samarpan, Satyanishtha and Shuchita, Navachar and Jigyasa, Shraddha aur Vishwas, and Swatantrata and Kartavya. The day-wise program schedule consists of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation sessions, followed by experiential learning, thematic sessions, and hands-on activities. Evening activities include visits to ancient and heritage sites, inspirational film screenings, mission life creative activities, talent shows, etc.
The Prerana program is open to all interested students. Upon selection, 20 participants (10 boys and 10 girls) will attend the Prerana program each week. Students can register online at the Prerna portal, prerana.education.gov.in, or join the selection procedure conducted at the school level on designated ‘Prerana Utsav’ day.
The Prerana program is an excellent opportunity for teachers to help their students develop leadership qualities and gain hands-on experience in experiential learning. If you’re looking for a way to help your students develop into well-rounded individuals, consider introducing them to the Prerana program.
