Hamara Manch 2025 - Primary School

Hamara Manch is a representation of the spirit and progression of each child. A culmination of their experiences in the past academic year, they present their learning journey through creative expression in songs, dances and roleplays.

Everyone possesses a unique inner energy or ‘Oorja’. Each day, our Oorja defines our actions and experiences. Each child has their own oorja that maps out their interactions with each other. Experiences across different classes in the Primary School about how they related with the theme were reflected in unique expressions.

A roleplay on the Kurinjee flower was a mirroring of the energy the children saw within themselves. A powerful musical roleplay on ‘The Paper Dolls’ expressed the idea of ‘Paper thin and Mighty strong’ to show the resilience of memory and the power of bonding experiences. An orange panda's search for self-identity was seen through another roleplay. Through songs and dances, the children also celebrated the varied cultures of India, moving from North India to the coastal plains.

The presentation was a culmination of experiences with positive thoughts about the Shikshantar family coming together and Sanjay Bhaiya appreciated every child for the maturity and team work they displayed in each presentation who particularly enjoyed the play on ‘Mulla Nasiruddin’ and ‘Sargam’ with the gentle magic of X’mas and festive cheers. Speaking with the parents, Minoti Didi put emphasis on the ‘Oorja’ of parenting, the importance of being fully present with their children and not letting digital distractions come in the way of a meaningful experience.

The children's efforts and simple earnestness were clear to see and will have moved the hearts of the onlooking parents and grandparents.
