Students health and well being

A just and equitable society can be imagined only when future citizens will be brought up in an environment, where their health and well being is ensured, nourished, and taken care off.

Government initiative of Mid Day Meal project, availability of clean and potable water, toilets, regular health check-ups, administering medicines periodically etc. are some of the well being measures. Azim Premji School is committed to ensure implementing these government projects wholeheartedly.

Time of Mid day meal enables huge opportunity to make students’ school experience enriching and develop a sense of belongingness. Taking meal together develops a sense of community and affords an informal space to talk to each other. A hearty conversation during the meal among the members of school is a regular scenario.

Students in school took active part in organizing Mid day meal. This provides opportunity to the kids to develop a sense of ownership, responsibility, leadership, and valuing their own effort. Each in the school washing their own plates (except playgroup students) and standing in que to get them checked by the students! Students of Class three onwards gets the duty to inspect the plates whether they have been properly cleaned or not. In minuscule it represents a true democratic set up. Where everyone is keen in fulfilling their duties whether it is simply washing of plates, or waiting for their turn in queue and so on.

The approach has gradually also been transformed to a space where children can connect their classroom learning with the practices done in the school kitchen garden, by growing their own edibles. This gives our novice farmers a chance to be elated when they see everyone in the room relishing their hard work. We aim at developing the intellect through such practices, and ensure that the child learns these in the midst of learning by doing approach. Come! Join us in having scrumptious meal.

Providing safe and punishment free environment in an institution is a pre-requisite to even envision for a just and humane society. School is committed to ensure safe and punishment free environment for the entire school.

Inclusiveness and diversity are two important dimensions that ensures health and well being of individuals.
