KVS Foundation Day 2024

Every year on December 15, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) Foundation Day is observed. However, because of the Sunday, this year's celebration took place on December 14, 2024, rather than December 15, 2024. The theme for the 62nd Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) Foundation Day in 2024 is "Honour the past while creating the future". A range of events are held to commemorate the KVS Foundation Day, such as dance, quizzes, drama, songs, and pledge-taking.

The Ministry of Education, Government of India, oversees the KVS school system. With 1,253 schools in India and three outside, it is among the biggest educational networks in the world. Every year on December 15, KVS Foundation Day is observed. "The End of Education is Character" is the motto of KVS. "We, the members of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, solemnly pledge to work selflessly towards making India a strong and prosperous nation," is the KVS Foundation Day pledge.

Typically, students are in charge of planning the events and making the necessary accommodations. Some schools could organize competitions every day for the entire week leading up to the foundation day. In India and other nations, the KVS is a system of central government schools. Originally known as Central Schools, it was founded in 1963 under the Ministry of Education. Later on, the name was modified to Kendriya Vidyalaya. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has an affiliation with the KVS, which is a non-profit organization.

Happy National Education Day 2024

मौलाना अबुल कलाम आज़ाद भारत के पहले शिक्षा मंत्री थे। 15 अगस्त 1947 के बाद जब भारत आजाद हुआ, तो उन्होंने स्वतंत्र भारत में शिक्षा प्रणाली को बेहतर बनाने के लिए कई अहम कदम उठाए। उनकी सोच थी कि हर भारतीय को अच्छी शिक्षा मिले ताकि देश का विकास हो सके।

1. विश्वविद्यालय अनुदान आयोग (UGC) की स्थापना: मौलाना आज़ाद ने विश्वविद्यालयों की गुणवत्ता को बनाए रखने के लिए 1953 में यूजीसी की स्थापना की। इस आयोग का उद्देश्य उच्च शिक्षा में सुधार करना और अच्छे शिक्षण संस्थानों को समर्थन देना था।

2. आईआईटी और आईआईएससी का विकास: मौलाना आज़ाद ने भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान (IIT) और भारतीय विज्ञान संस्थान (IISC) की स्थापना में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। आज ये संस्थान विश्वभर में प्रसिद्ध हैं और भारत के छात्रों को विज्ञान और प्रौद्योगिकी में उच्च स्तर की शिक्षा प्रदान करते हैं।

3. साक्षरता अभियान: मौलाना आज़ाद का मानना था कि शिक्षा का प्रसार भारत के हर कोने तक होना चाहिए। उन्होंने ग्रामीण इलाकों और पिछड़े क्षेत्रों में शिक्षा के प्रसार पर विशेष ध्यान दिया। उनके प्रयासों के कारण साक्षरता दर में धीरे-धीरे सुधार हुआ।

4. सांस्कृतिक विकास पर जोर: मौलाना आज़ाद ने भारतीय संस्कृति और सभ्यता को बढ़ावा देने के लिए विभिन्न संस्थानों की स्थापना की। उन्होंने साहित्य, कला और संगीत को शिक्षा का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा बनाने पर जोर दिया, ताकि नई पीढ़ी भारतीय संस्कृति को समझ सके और उसे आगे बढ़ा सके।

5. सर्व शिक्षा का अधिकार: मौलाना आज़ाद ने प्राथमिक शिक्षा को सभी के लिए अनिवार्य और सुलभ बनाने के लिए कई प्रयास किए। उनका मानना था कि जब तक हर बच्चा शिक्षित नहीं होगा, तब तक देश का विकास संभव नहीं है।

मौलाना आज़ाद के ये कदम भारतीय शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में मील का पत्थर साबित हुए। उनकी दूरदर्शी सोच और ठोस प्रयासों की वजह से आज भारत में शिक्षा के स्तर में सुधार हुआ है और शिक्षा का प्रसार अधिक हो सका है। उनके योगदान को याद करने के लिए भारत में हर साल 11 नवंबर को ‘राष्ट्रीय शिक्षा दिवस’ मनाया जाता है।

Birth Anniversary of A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

 

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam BR (15 October 1931 – 27 July 2015) was an Indian aerospace scientist and statesman who served as the 11th president of India from 2002 to 2007. Born and raised in a Muslim family in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, he studied physics and aerospace engineering. He spent the next four decades as a scientist and science administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and was intimately involved in India's civilian space programme and military missile development efforts. He thus came to be known as the Missile Man of India for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology. He also played a pivotal organisational, technical, and political role in India's Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test by India in 1974.

Happy World Teachers’ Day 2024

World Teachers’ Day has been celebrated since 1994.

It is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally.

हिंदी पखवाड़ा 2024

हिन्दी दिवस प्रत्येक वर्ष 14 सितम्बर को मनाया जाता है। 14 सितम्बर 1949 को ही संविधान सभा ने यह निर्णय लिया था कि हिन्दी केन्द्र सरकार की आधिकारिक भाषा होगी। चूंकि भारत मे अधिकतर क्षेत्रों में हिन्दी भाषा बोली जाती थी, इसलिए हिन्दी को राजभाषा बनाने का निर्णय लिया और इसी निर्णय के महत्व को प्रतिपादित करने तथा हिन्दी को प्रत्येक क्षेत्र में प्रसारित करने के लिये वर्ष 1953 से पूरे भारत में 14 सितम्बर को प्रतिवर्ष हिन्दी-दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता है। स्वतन्त्रता प्राप्ति के बाद हिन्दी को आधिकारिक भाषा के रूप में स्थापित करवाने के लिए काका कालेलकर, हजारीप्रसाद द्विवेदी, सेठ गोविन्ददास आदि साहित्यकारों को साथ लेकर व्यौहार राजेन्द्र सिंह ने अथक प्रयास किये।

Happy Teacher's Day 2024

India observes Teacher's Day on September 5th of each year to honor the priceless contributions that educators make to society. In addition, this day honors Dr. Sarpalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India and a renowned scholar who supported education and suggested that his birthday be observed as Teachers' Day.

After Dr. Radhakrishnan's proposal was enthusiastically embraced by his students, September 5th is now observed annually in India as Teachers' Day. This is an important day for both students and teachers since it gives them a chance to thank their teachers for their commitment and gives teachers a chance to be recognized for their hard work.
