Extra-Curricular

At Vidyanjali, the life of students is not just limited to the knowledge of books and curriculum. Vidyanjali focuses on students’ learning about the different things happening around them in their surroundings, and across the globe. We provide students the platform to grow and excel in all fronts, so that they become healthy intellectually by learning through various experiences. We mold them into well-rounded human beings who have the capability to handle various social situations once they become a part of the workforce, and even in day-to-day life.

Bookish knowledge is different from practical experience. Real infield experience makes learning better and stronger. To provide an opportunity for the students to understand the real working situation, and to appreciate the efforts of their parents and value hard earned money, Vidyanjali has designed a unique program for the students of Class IX and X. They are advised to undergo a one-week long ‘Work Internship’ at a workplace of their choice during Dasara Vacation.

These rules are based on being Respectful, Responsible and Safety — respecting and valuing teachers, peers and living and non-living things, taking responsibility in performing one’s duties and behavior, considering the safety of oneself and others.

RHETORICS GAVEL CLUB

Vidyanjali has started “Rehetorics Gavel Club”, in affiliation with Toastmasters International. Rehetorics Gavel Club is exclusively for the students of Vidyanjali to practice effective communication skills. The club meets once in a week and function according to the guidelines laid down by Tomsmasters International.
