Joyful Learning and Life Lessons

CHANDIGARH: The upcoming summer holiday promises to be a month of creativity and character-building for Haryana's primary school students, who will spend a day with a soldier in the neighbourhood under "Ek Mulakaat Sainik Ke Saath" home task and gain insight into Operation Sindoor and India's armed forces.

The revamped June 1 to June 30 vacation assignment rolled out on Thursday under NIPUN Haryana mission discards the dull and embraces the dynamic.

At the core of this year's summer homework is instilling among the tiny tots awareness about the pride of serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and paramilitary forces, sacrifices of soldiers and how to become an officer or soldier in the armed forces, said officials involved in drafting the summer break homework.

Another facet of this back-to-basic and grass-root learning approach prepared for primary class students is that parents, and not teachers, will evaluate the homework.
