The Study Hall Universe of Care deserves a clap for changing the lives of the students enrolled here, for better. The real life experiences given here, impact the minds of the students and teach them things which can never be forgotten.The youngsters of class 5 were fascinated while studying about the country’s constitution and government.

To understand how India is a true democracy, the class activity included getting the children into groups.Each group gave a class presentation on their “Party”, for which they decided on a name and prepared a symbol placard, a slogan banner and a speech for canvassing.
This was followed by all the children of class 5, casting a secret vote in the Ballot box to elect the Junior School Cabinet.Their participation in the election of the Junior School Student’s Council made them feel very proud and taught them the importance of elections in our country.

India Daughters Campaign 2016

There are 10 million child brides in the world and one-third of those are in India! Child marriage is one of the greatest threats to a girl’s life and liberty. We should stop euphemising it’s horror and sanctifying it by calling it “marriage”. We should call it ‘girl slavery’ which far more appropriately describes what child marriage does. It enslaves a girl physically, sexually, psychologically and emotionally and does her enormous harm. Her education is truncated, her immature body is weakened and rendered ill, by early and repeated childbirth. Young and afraid, she is unable to offer any resistance to oppressive and abusive in-laws and husband. Even before she embarks upon it, she loses all control over her life!

Even though the Indian legal system outlaws the marriage of a girl before the age of 18, society especially in rural areas, not only sanctions it but actively promotes and encourages it by creating peer pressure to marry off young girls. Many people maintain that they are under tremendous pressure by society to marry their girls as soon after they reach puberty. Marrying girls young is perceived as a way of settling them, keeping them safe and chaste and in control. Social norms in India, do not allow girls to be autonomous equal persons with the right to live life to its full potential. At Study Hall Educational Foundation(SHEF), we have been working for girls’ right to live as equal, autonomous persons worthy of respect for several years. This initiative started at our Prerna Girls Schools through critical feminist pedagogy. Later, in the year 2011 girls education and empowerment initiative, Aarohini was founded to strengthen government schools with gender studies curriculum. Over 1000 schools are touched by the Aarohini Initiative across India.

This year we are campaigning specifically against child marriage in all our partner schools, families, communities and the government. We begin our campaign with this web campaign and invite you to join us in our fight against child marriage in India. We look forward to receiving your articles, messages and entries of any kind which will encourage our students and their parents to say NO TO CHILD MARRIAGE/GIRL SLAVERY!

Thank you!

President and CEO, Study Hall Educational Foundation

 

Investiture Ceremony 2016 -2017

The Investiture Ceremony for the 2016 – 2017 cabinet members was held in the school premises on the 23rd of April, 2015. It started with the ceremonial march past. Then the cabinet members were batched by the Principal and Vice Principal of the school. The ceremony was also attended by parents who were very proud to see their wards being batched. Finally it concluded by the oath taken by the cabinet members who pledged to uphold the prestige and dignity of the school.


“To have been in this school for the last 15 years is an amazing feeling. And the best thing about this journey is that it gave me a dream. A dream to lead. A dream to lead the people of my school to a heaven full of opportunities and a scope fro success.And so, as a newfound leader, it is my foremost duty to give each and every one of my fellow Studyhallians a chance to Polish and a platform to showcase their very own talents. Thus, I guarantee it too, to help in making their dreams or at least a part of them true.I vow not to become a statistic but rather an exception to the rule. I vow not to fit into anyone’s box but rather to think outside the box. As a leader I vow progression not digression. As a leader I vow to seek avenues to implement and sustain a better system for all of you.”

Yashasvi Krishna – Vice Head Boy


“It was indeed a matter of great pride and privilege for me to have been elected as the school’s Head Boy. However, this position also brings a plethora of responsibilities and expectations with it which I will try my best to fulfill. I have always believed that all of us are uniquely gifted and have extraordinary potential. As the Head Boy, I will apply this maxim to my work and explore the vast ocean of possibilities that lie before us. I wish to uphold the deeply instilled ethic of the school and further propagate it. Furthermore, I am supremely confident of the caliber of my team and the support of all Studyhallians, with which we can scale great heights.”

Abhilaksh Verma – Head Boy
