Apart from Vedic hymns, music, dance, yoga, floral garland-making and allied skills, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama’s fortnight-long summer camp ‘Samskara Sibiram’ that concluded here on Wednesday, was aimed at helping the participating school children gain soft skills and learn teamwork, among others.
At the closing ceremony, Sri Padmavati Mahila Viswa Vidyalayam (SPMVV) Vice-Chancellor Depuru Bharathi appreciated the Mission’s initiative in helping children identify their core skills and improvise on the same. “The camp helped children trace their roots and follow India’s rich culture and tradition,” she said.
Ramakrishna Mission secretary Swamy Sukritananda Maharaj said that the camp attempted to acquaint young children with the ‘real world’ outside of their mobile phone screens.
