Mrs. Radhika Sinha, Principal, Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA), said “Every year, parents are excited to organize the FETE, a fun fair which has received recognition over the years and is an example of ABWA’s dedication towards social responsibility and to give back to the community. The art- walk is a platform that offers a unique opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity and talent. The art auction exhibition proceeds are contributed to noble causes. At ABWA, we recognize the pivotal role that education plays in the nation’s advancement. The success of FETE 2024, including activities such as the art auction and dance marathon, underscores our commitment to imbibing a sense of social responsibility in our students and fostering a well-rounded education system.
The National Education Policy (NEP) advocates the integration of experiential learning, community service, and extracurricular activities into the school curriculum to promote holistic development and social consciousness among students. ABWA’s philosophical bent, in sync with the NEP firmly believes that nurturing compassion and empathy in students is integral to developing life skills and fostering a deeper understanding of the world.”
Engaging in such activities benefits not only the students but also contributes positively to society as a whole. ABWA is continuously seeking such initiatives to foster a comprehensive and holistic- educational approach.
