Prof. Lokesh Upreti laid down the plan for the day by announcing the proposed distribution of copies, sharpeners and erasers among the learners. Literally hundreds of copies, sharpeners and erasers were handed out to the children. Prof. Upreti also initated the day’s sessions by apprising the children about the importance of spring in the annual calendar. He also brought in the context of Basant Panchami and Saraswati Puja, which are celebrated on this date.  Teacher-in-chief Shiksha than took the baton to discuss the various seasons and their characteristic features. She continued to describe how Basant Panchami is celebrated through yellow attire, flying of kites and of course, the observance of Saraswati Puja. Rishita also came over to help out with this session.

In the next part of the day’s classes, Nagesh educated the little ones about the necessity of libraries. Children were both surprised and excited to know about the Govt. library (Ch. Charan Singh Library) at Meerut More, which offers free membership. Many of them noted down the address with great enthusiasm and promised to visit it soon with their family members.

As the day winded down, books on multiplication tables and names of body parts were distributed among the children, along with the customary ‘Britannia Good Day’ biscuits and ‘Kismi Bite’ toffees. Prof. Lokesh Upreti guided the volunteers in the conduct of the programme as the faculty coordinator of CSR Club - Parivartan.

We at Parivartan would like to specially note and acknowledge the tremendous efforts put in by volunteers of Parivartan for their exceptional contribution and donation of copies, books and stationary materials among the children out of their own sense of duty and affection for the learners. Parivartan is obviously not a learning experience only for the children, it is truly heartening to see this kind of thinking and effort.
