Helping children RESPECT INDIAN CULTURE

PW invited parents of Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, Gwalior - India's #1 girls boarding school to share how they ensure their children respect Indian culture and traditions

- 

We don't believe culture should be confined to books and classrooms — it's something you live, breathe, and celebrate daily.

We want our daughters — Venya (class IX) and Aanya (class VI) — to experience the rhythm of our traditions through curiosity and participation, not rules. From saying “Namaste” to lighting diyas and designing rangoli, they learn by doing and questioning. We encourage them to explore the meaning of rituals and look for values in the Panchatantra and Jataka tales. Our travels and family time deepen this connection. We're grateful that Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya nurtures the same spirit — blending India's rich heritage with modern digital education and innovation” — Vaishali Malhotra, IRS, Commissioner CGST & Customs, Gurugram
