I saw a great amount of curiosity and inquisitiveness in our children. From there I knew they just needed someone to guide them on the right path. As our name Prakriti signifies the importance of each child's nature or Swabhav, similarly I tried to serve children by identifying their individualistic learning styles.

A lot of our education comes from experential learning. This provides children a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the basic concepts of mathematics. The teacher here is aware of the harms posed by industrial farming and he imarts the same to his students.
Hands on learning makes children self-reliant and with the addition of moral we are able to connect to the hearts of these kids.

The children applied the knowledge they learnt during their Architecture with Mathematics class. A small house using a sustainable materials that can fit rabbits and small animals to stay in monsoon.
They gathered salvaged cardboards, dug mud and got bamboo twigs and created a functioning house for the animals.
Learning with a smile was priceless.

This is an activity which I designed after realising that my kids in a village were violent not only physically , but more mentally.
To solve it we did following :
1. A few times we did group discussions to discuss the Root cause for the violent behavior.
2. After RCA ( Root Cause Analysis) we found that, the main reason behind many conflicts is difference in views and blind reactions to external stimulus.
3. Now we had to name to what or who reacts to external stimulus and hence the word EGO emerged.
4. Now what does the EGO lead us to do was in nearest inner circle ( Passion, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Selfishness ) .
5. We had to work on each negative habit pattern and turn it's energy to positive habit pattern.
For instance, ( As can be seen in picture ) Passion can be changed to Compassion, Anger to Pure and unconditional β€, Greed to Sacrifice, Attachment to Dettachment and Selfishness to Selflessness.
Now it's time to play the Game to EGO.
We sit in a circle with kids
Then we will put the Circular disc either on a central pointer ( on which it could be rotated) or simply rotate it by hand.
There will be an external pointer.
The person who rotates gets to see the section of the circle where the pointer points. Let's say if the pointer points to Anger, then the child knows that Nature πΏπ wants him/her to work on their Anger by changing the energy of Anger to Pure and unconditional Love β€ as shown on the corresponding outermost circular section of the disc.
The best part is that even as teachers or facilitators we will participate in this game with kids, which ultimately also helps in our reflection and transformation process, simply by playing a Game of EGO.
Hope it helps.

The basic idea of Nayee Taleem in motion using the Charkha. There was a cotton tree in the village. The kids learnt how to pluck the cotton flower, de-seed the cotton, create a spool and learn the spinning wheel to create the thread. This process taught them basic biology of the cotton tree(it is a shrub). The mechanics of seeds of the cotton tree, the process of creating spool and how to store cotoon and why is it important. The process of making thread is quite critical in understanding physical properties of cotton as a material.
