Beyond Curriculum

The department of Extra Curricular Activities at KMV strives to excel in striking a balance between syllabus, curriculum, books and co-curricular activities beyond them, envisioning to enhance the complete personality of the students to strongly face the testing road of the future. Kanya Maha Vidyalaya plays a pivotal role in channelizing the dormant energy of its students into the fruitful direction of personality development through extra- curricular activities. The department of ECA at KMV is brimming with activities throughout the year. The department charts Annual Programme Planner every year and finalises various projects to be undertaken which directly benefit students, society and the nation. Students participate in many cultural programmes and competitions like Essay writing, Quiz, Story writing, poetry, singing, dancing, acting, painting, modelling, mobile Quiz, Debate, Elocution, slogan writing, poster-making and many awareness enhancement and social extension activities from time to time. They also celebrate important days of national and international importance. The students in collaboration with various NGO’s like Rotary, Jaycees, Lions, Pahal, Arrive Safe and Goonj, organise many events like Tree Plantation, Blood Donation, Traffic awareness seminars, Women Safety awareness rallies, Say No to drugs campaign to name a few. The students actively prepare and participate in items for Zonal, Inter- Zonal, North Zone and Intervarsity Youth Festivals. These activities positively impact students’ emotional, intellectual, social, and inter-personal – development. They encourage interactions that are essential for building a strong civil society. Each activity offers students an opportunity to work with others and gain essential life skills. By working together with other individuals, students learn to negotiate well, communicate effectively, resolve conflict and lead others. They understand the importance of critical thinking, time management and academic and intellectual competence. Involvement in co-academic activities helps students mature socially by providing a setting for student interaction, relationship formation and discussion. Primarily, the intention is to make the ‘scholar’ students become fit and ready for the challenges in future life and develop a sense of healthy competition and cooperation, enhance leadership qualities, make them diligent and punctual, build team spirit and to augment the latent creative talents and skills which promote values of courtesy, mutual respect and tolerance.
