Schools Nationwide Celebrate Day 7 of “Shiksha Saptah” with “Community Participation through Vidyanjali and Tithi Bhojan”

The Ministry of Education is celebrating the 4th anniversary of the National Education Policy 2020 with a week-long campaign, “Shiksha Saptah”. On Day 7, schools nationwide are emphasizing community involvement in education through the Vidyanjali and Tithi Bhojan initiatives.

Vidyanjali, a school volunteer management program, run by the Department of School Education & Literacy of the Ministry of Education, was launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 7th September 2021. The program aims to strengthen schools and improve the quality of education through community, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and private sector involvement across the country.

As part of the campaign, the Department of School Education & Literacy has provided a list of suggested activities for schools. Schools are focusing on onboarding themselves to the Vidyanjali portal and identifying local volunteers to provide support. They will also feature the names of active volunteers on a “Wall of Fame/Notice Board” in schools. Additionally, principals, teachers, and students will write letters of gratitude to these volunteers.

Community awareness activities, such as rallies, street plays, poster-making, and chart-making about volunteer activities, shall also be organized. State- and district-level officials are actively participating to ensure the campaign’s success. These efforts align with the National Education Policy 2020’s goal of increasing community participation in education.

These activities aim to build a strong support system for students and teachers, creating a better learning environment, by bringing together schools, volunteers, and the community through the Vidyanjali portal (https://vidyanjali.education.gov.in/).
