also spoke about the challenges and opportunities that come with promoting
inclusion in schools. They highlighted the importance of promoting awareness
and sensitivity among teachers and students towards diversity, different
cultures, and backgrounds. The panellists also emphasized the need for schools
to have proper infrastructure and support systems in place to support children
with disabilities and other special needs.
To conclude,
attending the screening of the movie 'Ready Steady' and the ensuing panel

us. We gained valuable insights and practical ideas on how we can create an
environment in our schools that is welcoming and inclusive, and which supports
the development of every child. We are eager to implement these ideas and
strategies to promote inclusion in our school community. We express our
gratitude to Dr. Ashok Kumar Pandey, Advisor-Ahlcon Group of Schools and

ACTIVITY: CLASS
PANCHAYAT
Panchayati Raj Day is celebrated on April 24th every year in India
to commemorate the passing of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992,
which led to the establishment of Panchayati Raj institutions in India. To
celebrate this day, the students of Class XI at Ahlcon International School
decided to simulate the functioning of a Gram Panchayat by dividing themselves
into a Sarpanch, five Panchs, and the rest of the students representing the
Gram Sabha of a fictional town called Dholakpur.
The class was divided into three groups. The first group consisted
of the Sarpanch and the five Panchs, who were responsible for proposing and
implementing policies for the development of the town. The second group
represented the Gram Sabha, who were responsible for providing feedback and
suggestions to the Sarpanch and the Panchs. The third group acted as observers,
who monitored and analysed the decision-making process.
The Sarpanch and the Panchs were given hypothetical situations
such as intercaste marriage, personal conflict, water scarcity, and disparity
between rich and poor, which they had to address using their collective wisdom
and the feedback from the Gram Sabha. The decisions made by the Sarpanch and
the Panchs were then presented to the Gram Sabha for approval.
The celebration of Panchayati Raj Day was a great learning
experience. The simulation exercise helped the students understand the
importance of Panchayati Raj institutions and their role in the development of
rural India. It also helped them develop skills such as critical thinking,
decision-making, and communication. The exercise was an excellent way for the
students to celebrate Panchayati Raj Day and appreciate the democratic process
of decision-making.

Interaction
with the
Federal Chancellor of Germany
The date 25th February,2023 will always remain special for me as I got the golden opportunity of meeting the Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Mr. Olaf Scholz when he visited Fab café, Sunder Nursery for an informal interactive session with a younger, informed audience.
Meeting and interacting with the Federal Chancellor was a once in a lifetime experience, which was possible because of my teachers and my school AIS (Ahlcon International School). As a school student, it was a wonderful and different exposure. There were people from different fields, age groups and even different states of India like UP, Rajasthan etc invited by the German Embassy for the session. The Chancellor seated on a high chair in the beautiful ambience of the Fab cafe, very deftly handled all the questions raised by the audience ranging from topics as wide and diverse as climate change, feminist policies, protection of forest cover, art and history, energy conservation, education in Germany, labour shortage, SDGs etc. He enthralled the crowd with his answers. The picturesque and serene location only added to the charm. Due to shortage of time, all the questions could not be catered but the Chancellor tried his best to cover all the aspects. The session further augmented the healthy Indo-German relationship.
It was also fun shooting the actual videos as well as the bloopers at Goethe Institute, Max Mueller Bhavan. In the video I shared my experience of the interaction with the federal Chancellor and how excited and yet nervous I was before the grand event. We recorded in both the languages English and German.
It was a truly intriguing and informative event. I am ever grateful to my School and my teacher and Goethe Institute for this glorious learning opportunity.
Fourteen
years of hard work, memories both perfect and benign, all led to this the

their captivating and melodious voices and notes. The participants of the
contest now had to showcase their talent in order to be in the third round. It
was very difficult for the judges to choose the participants for the next round
as each contestant gave his best on the stage. Class XI students showcased a
beautiful video that made the audience exhilarated and nostalgic. It took them
to the memories of their school life which they will miss in the future! Now
was the time to showcase the intellectual level on stage for the third and the

PARIKSHA PE CHARCHA LIVE STREAMING
Ahlcon International School, on 27th
January 2023, got imbued with curiosity and zeal on the occasion of the Sixth
edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha which was being held at New Delhi's Talkatora
Stadium. This annual event, which was enunciated by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi in the year 2018 as a larger movement - ‘Exam Warriors’, was hailed by all
the students.
The live streaming of the Prime
Minister's commendable efforts towards creating a stress-free atmosphere for
youngsters was watched and held in high regard in the school auditorium, at the
reception and in the classrooms across the entire Senior Section.
Importance of time management for
examinations was highlighted with intriguing examples by the honorable Prime
Minister. Students were asked to observe the most inspiring figure of family,
i.e. the mother, as she is adept at managing the house and family. The most
haunting question about the family's expectations, which stumbles the students'
motivation to study with all the diligence, was humbly answered aptly by the
highly revered Prime minister. He pacified the students by saying that it's
normal for the family to have expectations but they should not make it a matter
of social status. The students who use their creativity for 'cheating' in
examinations should use their time and creativity in a good way to achieve
heights of success. Also, hard working students are extremely affected by
others doing cheating so students should abstain from using unfair means. He
also brought forth the pertinence of doing hard work smartly. These
illuminating repository of mantras to beat exam stress, motivated the students
to identify their strengths and interests and also help them celebrate exams.
Students enthusiastically look forward to another edifying session of Pariksha
Pe Charcha in the coming months alongside taking vibrant insights from this
one.
