School rooms get Sanskrit-inspired names
23 Jul
Summary
- Students renamed school rooms using Sanskrit, Kannada, Hindi, and Tulu.
- Classrooms received names like 'Prabodha' and 'Prajnana'.
- Room names aim to inspire knowledge and responsibility in students.
Students at the government high school in Badaga Yekkar recently participated in an Indian languages summer camp that brought a unique transformation to the school's identity. During the camp, a competition encouraged 34 students to propose names for various rooms using words from Sanskrit, Kannada, Hindi, and Tulu.
These suggestions led to the official renaming of key areas, including the Teachers' Room as 'Abhijnalaya' (abode of knowledge) and the Science Laboratory as 'Anveshika' (search and research). Classrooms were imbued with new identities, bearing names such as 'Prabodha' (enlightenment) and 'Prajnana' (ultimate knowledge).
The school's Literary Club organized the event under directives from the Union Ministry of Education and state departments. Retired headmistress Rajeshwari emphasized that these new nameplates serve as symbols of inspiration, guiding students' dreams and instilling a sense of responsibility to uphold their designated honor.
