Report On “Ethics Of Restraint” By Ayur Gyan Nyas
Feelings are like waves, you can’t stop them from coming, but you can decide which ones to surf. Emotional skills are one of the core components of learning about life skills. Understanding emotions and feelings and becoming aware of one’s associated behavior with a particular feeling is a big leap towards self-awareness. The students today are highly confused in terms of feelings and emotions. Thus, in this regard, in order to help students; a modest attempt at making a beginning in this direction was made by Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Public school, by getting a 2day workshop conducted under the banner of Ayur Gyan Nyas on “Ethics of Restraint” which talked of managing emotions and feelings by Deeksha and Asiya. The workshop was attended by all the educators, Principal, H.M., house parents and wardens.
The workshop entailed an understanding of the basic emotions and feelings, difference between positive and negative emotions, recognition of afflictive emotions, its life cycle, conversion into habit, difference between undisciplined and disciplined mind, ethics of restraint, mindfulness etc. Teachers participating in the workshop were supposed to consider themselves as students in order to understand and learn better through this workshop. Participants were apprised of various aspects of emotions and were made to feel empowered that they have a choice to surf through the emotions they like. Strategies to cope with both positive and negative emotions, how to change afflictive behavior into habits etc. were also discussed with the group. The workshop was designed to be interactive with activities around ‘feelings and faces’, case studies and audio-visual tools. Educators’ participation as students made it an enjoyable and fun learning experience for all.
Finally, during the closing of the workshop the trainers emphasized on the fact that the tree is the epitome of harmonious living in an interdependent system. It takes from the soil and surrounding only as much as it needs and yet gives back plentiful. In the same way, we-as educators; should nurture and mould not only responsible and accountable but also generous and empathetic individuals, who live in harmony with the rest of the world and gives back to the society. The Principal, Major Rajesh Ranjit at the end of the workshop gave planted pots along with gifts to the trainers as a token of appreciation and love.

Pocso Training Programme
Making it compulsory for all the teachers, the ‘POCSO’ (Protection of Children against Sexual Offences) short session was held at Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Public School on 12th March 2019 in the school auditorium. There were three speakers dealing with different aspects i.e. legal, social and psychological under the banner of POCSO named Smriti Shukla, Amreen and Samrat from Swadharma Human Care foundation.
In today’s time, when there is no limit to exposure, no restraint on what children watch and all the more less time to supervise their movements carefully, children are picking up lots of incorrect notions about growing up and are increasingly engaging in unhealthy sexual experimentation. This also puts them at a greater risk for abuse. Ms. Smriti highlighted on the fact that be it a teacher, counsellor, warden, house parent or a parent; at school (in the premises), in the boarding or at home, one certainly comes across children who have witnessed abuse at different points of time. Sexuality education is a broader term that refers to providing information about internal and external body parts, imparting knowledge of proper vocabulary with respect to private body parts, growing up, intimacy, attraction, and relationships. It also involves helping children and individuals to develop right attitude towards sexuality and empowers them to protect self against abuse. Hence, with the objective of empowering concerned teachers, in turn, students and their parents, a POCSO session of interaction with the educators was conducted. Although the duration was really short as it was an introductory session but the speakers tried to cover various aspects and emphasized on the practical know how about dealing with various themes of sexuality, preventive steps to be undertaken, identifying signs of abuse, key ways of handling it, and knowing The POCSO Act. The session began by showing a short video on child abuse wherein the protagonist was ‘KOMAL’. All the information was imparted through discussions. Further, they promised to come and take up another session guiding the school children.

Art and Craft Workshop
An Art and Craft workshop on Clay modeling was held in the school on Saturday i.e.17th April. The children of the primary section got an opportunity to try their hands at dough modeling with the help of colorful dough that came in attractive plastic jars. The teacher showed them how to make a Teddy bear but the children surprised her with more creative ideas of their own and making things like mobile phones, python, dolls, kettle, smiley face, dog and telephones. Class K.G. enjoyed the most when they pressed the modules against the dough and the figure of different animals popped out. Next was the turn of paints which gave a 3 D effect to the cards made by the children. The embossed design was very attractive and easy to make by just squeezing the plastic tubes which left an impression on paper which looked like a piece of modern art.
The workshop was enthusiastically attended by teachers and students alike and it helped the teachers to get an insight into the different ways the children can show their creativity.

He also explained very minute things which we should keep in our mind every time. He told us that we should avoid saying common things which other people also say about themselves. We should always tell interesting things which other people would remember for a long period of time. He also told the value of communication skills in our life. Then he discussed the things which we should keep in mind while giving any competitive examination or an interview. He suggested that we should speak about those things only about which we have detailed knowledge and can answer any sort of questions on that topic.
We also performed an on the spot skit which we prepared in a given time i.e. 20 minutes. We also modified the scenes of movies which were chosen by us. All this work was done in groups which taught us team – spirit. At last, I would like to say that all it was a very informative as well as fun filled one week workshop.

Workshop on CLAT
As career plays an important role in our life. After Class Xth students become more concerned about their career, as they have to decide their streams. The days are gone when people think about becoming doctors and engineers only. Now students have many options. They can opt for designing, architecture, civil services etc.
Law is also a good profession with excellent scope. Now days, a lawyer could fetch more money and reputation than a doctor or an engineer. Those who want to become lawyers have to qualify CLAT. CLAT stands for Common Law Admission Test. On Saturday (10th July, 2010) afternoon we were informed about a career counseling. All the students attended the workshop and I was surprised to know about the opportunities, in law which was available for us. It is high time we started thinking about the welfare of our own society.
Only one exam with 5 subjects is conducted in CLAT. Since, very few students participate in this examination as compared to IIT, so placement is higher with fruitful salary. The five subjects which are tested in the exam are – English, Math’s, General Knowledge, Reasoning and logical questions. We should not wait for others. Let’s join hands to eradicate the corruption and take a stand to make our society a better place to live by motivating the maximum people we come in touch with to become law abiding citizens .
