Subject: Calendar of Student Enrichment Activities 2023
CBSE is committed to provide quality education to promote intellectual, social, emotional and cultural development of its learners. It works towards evolving a learning process and environment which empowers the future citizens of the country to become global leaders in the emerging knowledge society. It endeavours to provide a stress- free learning environment that will develop competent, confident and enterprising citizens of the country.
With the above vision, the Board has introduced and been conducting many student enrichment activities throughout the year like Expression Series, Heritage India Quiz, Science Challenge, Science Exhibition, Aryabhatta Ganit Challenge, Reading Challenge, Story Telling Competition, etc.
In the New Year, the Board will be conducting all these activities and some new activities will also be initiated. The month wise calendar of these student enrichment activities planned for the year 2023 is enclosed as Annexure-A. These enrichment activities not only support students’ cognitive, social and emotional development but also introduce them to diverse activities which help them to explore new hobbies and interests. These activities aim at developing such skills and attitudes among students which prepare them for future challenges.
All the Student Enrichment Activities of the Board for the year 2023 will celebrate and commemorate 75 years of India’s independence and highlight India’s Presidency of the G20 (an inter-governmental forum of the world’s major developed and developing economies).
Action to be taken by Schools
- Organize these activities as given in the calendar during the year by integrating them in the school calendar/regular activities of the school.
- Prepare an annual action plan for the effective implementation of these activities.
- Ensure the participation of each student in at least two-three activities during the year as per their interest.
- Ensure appointment of Nodal Teacher(s) in the school to plan and conduct these activities.
- Share the information with the concerned stakeholders and encourage them to avail these opportunities.
- Visit the CBSE website www.cbse.nic.in and www.cbseacademic.nic.in for regular updates on these activities.
School Heads are encouraged to continue all-around participation in these activities by motivating their students to participate in them for their overall development, and to promptly report participation details on CBSE ASAR App (Affiliated Schools Activity Report) available on Playstore for Android phones.
