Highlights of Manthan 2022- 

The Theme for this year’s Manthan was United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals or SDG and students presented various speeches, participated in Debates that centered around a particular aspect of the SDG goals, created posters and art installations, undertook a creative writing exercise. A very unique event at Manthan 2022 was when students got to interview a certain reputed member of the society and were judged based on what questions they posed. This particularly helped in children realising the value of research and thinking on the spot.  

Manthan is a rare and excellent opportunity for the students to build on their life skills. It was inspiring to watch the children present their research on stage and answer the judges’ questions confidently. 

The Valedictory Program in itself was a sight to behold with beautiful songs and dances. 

A wonderful Book exhibition with over 15000 books on display added to the ambience as parents and children looked through the books and could even purchase them.  

Remarks by Special Guests 

Shri. Bharat Malik, Chairman of Arya Global, Dr. Neelam Malik, who represents Education Today Foundation along with the entire staff put their heart and soul in planning and executing this event.  

Shri. Bharat Malik quoted, “Manthan is very dear to us. AryaGlobal schools are always looking at ways to engage children where they learn relevant life skills and Manthan is a step in that direction. Freedom to express and Freedom to choose is important to us and this event achieves both.”

Dr. Neelam Malik states, “The theme of SDG was consciously chosen because we feel that it’s the need of the hour. We believe that the environment is the third teacher and therefore are working towards the idea of Green schools where children learn amidst nature and through nature. It is important that our students think about sustainability in everything they do.” 

Shri. Pawar and Smt. Sutar both expressed their appreciation for the students who were up–to–date in their knowledge of matters concerning today’s times and expressed that AryaGlobal’s initiative is a unique way leading to ‘thinking children’. 

The most satisfied were the proud parents of the participating students who were in awe of each presentation. The event left them with a sense of confident that their children and the future of the nation will be progressive where their children are given a chance to learn so many things in a fun and interactive manner.
