HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK
Dear Parents and Students
We thank you for your immense and whole-hearted support in constant mentoring and
supervision of learning process throughout the academic year.
It’s time again for a rejuvenating summer break.
This year, we carry forward our endeavor to work and support SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
➢ The students are expected to work on a project designed on
selected goals which will keep them engaged in creative and
fruitful pursuits during the summer break.
➢ This project will not only give an insight into some of the prevailing
issues which need timely addressal, but also provide an
opportunity to make sincere efforts to ensure sustainability and
prosperity for the future.
➢ Although, the students are expected to work individually yet they
would require the expedient guidance and support of the parents
to make their project a success. We wish you happy holidays with
your loved ones!
As an attempt for providing a meaningful and engaging learning landscape for students,
teachers have drafted various E-projects and worksheets with a view to facilitate the
understanding of concepts while offering flexibility to students to study at their own pace.
These activities would enable learners to use their potential in a creative and optimistic
manner.
Here are few creative suggestions for students to add quality to their time.
➢ Exercising improves strength and agility. Yoga will help you detox and boost your
stamina.
➢ Enjoy growing plants that emit oxygen like tulsi and aloe vera.
➢ Painting and sketching soothe your mind in a creative way.
➢ Reminiscing memorable times by putting your collection of pics in collages. You may
make videos clubbing pics together.

Keep your optimism high and

Calm your mind with the power of Prayer.
IT’S TIME FOR INTROSPECTION, RESILIENCE AND FAITH!

AI can help meet the SDGs because it augments, rather than replaces, our own intelligence
and capabilities. Any actions humans take to achieve the SDGs can be augmented with
artificial intelligence.
For example, using interconnected technologies such as electrical autonomous vehicles
and smart appliances with demand-response AI can help improve gas emissions in cities
and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
