In the Eye of the Storm: Exploring the Natural Disasters of Mizoram and Tripura

CLASS IX

‘Embrace the beauty of nature, immerse yourself in new experiences, and make your summer
vacation a transformative journey.’
Dear Students,
Greetings!

The much awaited summer vacation is finally here! It's time for you to relax, rejuvenate and
unwind. In the midst of fun and relaxation, let your summer vacation be a time for personal
growth and exploration. This is a golden time for you to empower yourselves with new skills
and knowledge. Be it picking up a new hobby, reading an interesting book, learning how to
play a musical instrument, spending time outdoors, playing a sport, indulging in gardening or
reconnecting with nature: you must choose something that enriches your mind, body, and soul.

To make your summer vacation a productive time, we have demarcated some projects/activities
that will enhance your academic prowess and lessen your workload through the rest of the year.
As per CBSE, each student must contribute towards the ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat
Programme’. Under this programme, Chandigarh has been paired with Tripura and Mizoram
in the session 2024-25 to give the students an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the
culture, traditions and geography of the paired States and UTs. We have used the EBSB
programme as a theme for the summer research work and projects. These activities will be
assessed as subject enrichment activities/portfolio activities. The last date of submission is 14th
July 2024.

Make each day of your summer vacation count. Let these holidays be a time for learning, as
the world becomes your classroom and every experience a lesson. While you browse social
media, stay in control of the time you spend on it. Make a conscious decision to keep devices

at bay. Sweat it out on the sports field, read a book, meet a friend and spend quality time with
family.
Try meditation to take charge of your mind if you find it challenging to stay away from your
phone/gadgets. OTT platforms offer a range of documentaries that provide life-changing
learning too, while retaining the entertainment factor. Try journaling and doodling; it is a
great way to stay calm at all times.
We would like to recommend the following books to you; these would certainly empower you
to make the most of the teen years:

1. Queen of Ice by Devika Rangachari

2. Being Gandhi by Paro Anand
3. When Blackbirds Fly by Hannah Lalhlanpu
4. Savi and the Memory Keeper by Bijal Vachharajani

We would like to share a few important points to keep in mind that will help you make the
most of your time off and prepare for the upcoming challenges.

● We encourage you to dedicate some time each day to improving your spelling skills. To
assist you in this endeavour, we have provided English and Hindi Spelling Bee Lists. It
would be beneficial to learn five new spellings from these lists every day. By consistently
practising your spelling, you will enhance your language skills and boost your
confidence.
● We strongly encourage you to develop the habit of reading the newspaper every day.
Reading news articles not only expands your knowledge but also enhances your reading
comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking abilities. It is an excellent way to stay
informed about current events and to broaden your understanding of the world around
you.
● We have organised the assignments for different subjects into separate folders. These
folders can be found under the heading 'Holiday Practice Work' in GCR.

As the summer sun shines bright, we hope you enjoy your well-deserved break. Remember to
tackle your holiday assignments with enthusiasm and come back ready to share your amazing
experiences.

Have a fantastic vacation!

resilience in the face of a natural disaster set in
either Tripura or Mizoram.

Disaster: Select a natural disaster common to
the chosen state (Tripura: floods due to heavy monsoon rains; Mizoram: landslides due to heavy
rainfall)
Focus: Resilience - Showcasing the strength and determination of the community to overcome
the disaster and rebuild their lives.
Instructions:
1. Choose Your State & Disaster:
➢ Decide whether you'll focus on Tripura (floods) or Mizoram (landslides).
