Late. Mukesh Rathod
In memory of Mukesh Rathod!
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 35th TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 1 at Meghani nagar, Ahmedabad. The road to school was so confusing that, we reached after 20 mins of wandering in only 500 mtr area.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program. The school is dedicated to one soldier called “Mukesh Rathod” who lost his life during Kargil War in 1999, hailed from this area of the city.
We couldn’t display posters as they were in Gujarati language and no fluent Gujarati reader was there. This school was Hindi language school.
The program started with observation of Venus. They were particularly amazed to see the magic of so called “Moon”. During the interactive session that followed, the solar system slides fascinated them all. Another wonderful thing that gave us tremendous satisfaction is that the teachers too got into the spirit of things and participated wholeheartedly in the question – answer sessions that interspersed the presentation! Especially, the principal. Questions like what is the temperature of the sun, who was the first man to Moon?’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Rajendra and Pradeep answered my questions with amazing clarity and were awarded prizes at the end of the presentation. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding.
The discipline was quite noticeable amongst the students.
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: the school staff, Jigar Darji & Stephen Samuel for nice set up & Urvi Vyas for photography & handling telescope for many times. We thank them all for their interest.
