KALAKAR - An initiative to educate young children about the value of the Indian Army


KALAKAR: a drawing competition that was held across many schools in Navi Mumbai obtained a participation of a large number of students as School Authorities zealously encouraged this fresh initiative. The most astonishing object of this event was that these drawings were readily sent to those in the Indian Army as a sentiment of love and gratitude to the real heroes of our nation from school students.
The Event was organized in 4 different schools:
- ICL Mon Ami School, Turbhe
- Anjuman Islam School, Turbhe
- St. Xavier’s School, Nerul
- Modern School, Vashi

Day 1: Thursday, 10th August was one blooming day for all the members of Morsel Of Hope team as they geared up for the first day of KALAKAR. Students of ICL Mon Ami School were ready just as the team reached. Students from 5th to 9th standard participated in the competition. Before the competition started MOH members had a collective interaction with the kids regarding the essence of patriotism and the importance of the occasion for which the event was to be conducted. The response that was received from the students was absolutely overwhelming. Along with the drawings and sketches many wrote letters expressing their concern and love for our brothers who are out there protecting us and it was not only the students but also the teachers who had something to share.

Day 2: Friday, the second day of the competition was held in St. Xavier’s School in Nerul and Anjuman Islam School in Turbhe. Xavier’s school ensured that both English as well as Marathi Medium students participate in the competition and the amount of dedication they showed was truly commendable. The competition was carried out smoothly, thanks to the welcoming nature of the School staff. It was heart-warming to see how teachers encouraged their students and strived to make the event a successful one. The principal of St. Xavier’s School said, “We are very glad to engage our students with this unique initiative which at a small level is making so great of an impact.”

Young as they were, it was surprising to witness the students’ imaginations on paper. The artworks created were fastidious and beautiful and yet they didn’t just limit themselves to the traditional ideas of patriotism and country love but unleashed themselves to all the knowledge they possessed of the subject. The drawings contained satire, humour, allegory, tragedy, love, dark nature of society, secularism and the realisms of desire. It was all a positive and striking message to be sunk in.

The event was a largely successful one and Morsel of Hope team was convinced that they would conduct KALAKAR in many more schools in the future. The most genuine feedback received was surge of happiness the students felt after completing their drawings and sketches. It was a day well spent by all and the young minds had so much to take away. They had newly attained knowledge about the country, many facts they never knew but more than that was the privilege to know how much love and gratitude they had for their country.
