Points to enhance the productivity of learning at schools.

Points to make sure over-all development of children, keeping in mind the perspective of inclusiveness.
  • Sports needs to be given due importance.
  • Extra-curricular activities can be organised.
  • Right from the beginning, students should have something significant to do. It's not right for students to wait till they become grown-ups or complete their education. Schools should begin some projects that can really work on the ground level and students may get opportunities to engage themselves in things of social benefits.  
  • Yoga classes must be conducted.
  • No child should feel excluded. Students often make a group of their choice and prefer to stick to the same. They do not mingle with the students of different likes and dislikes. Teachers need to make sure that they get along with the students of unlike minds as well.
  • Teachers must have the spark and brilliance that naturally can make students observe the life of values and principles.

 An idea is in trend these days----'One should, or rather likes to do only what is pleasant or fun to do.'

Sounds interesting. Right? This is what we all want, that too, unanimously.

But, wait a second.---------

Things that are good to us and can ensure quality life and healthy future, are often found to be tough, tiring and bitter in experience. Good things require extra efforts and will power. One needs to be active. And in being active, you have to go against your mind that naturally tends to remain in passive state. On the contrary, our mind naturally tends to do fun things. And fun things help us enjoy the present time. But, the attitude of enjoying the present only is not enough. Wisdom says our way of life should be in accordance with the one that leads to the path of progress and betterment.

So, we can see that there are two perspectives towards leading your life. And out of these two outlooks, it often becomes difficult to select one, because tempting mottoes are presented in favor of the first outlook. And such seemingly attractive ideas are already doing the rounds on the virtual platform of our collective mind. 

In such a situation of dillema, our Indian culture comes up with a perfect solution. There are two ways of leading your life: Preya Marg and Serena Marg. 

Preya Marg serves things which are attractive and pleasant, but those are poisonous in the long run. Preya things enchants your mind, but they prove to be life degrading. They do not lead you anywhere. They keep you in the illusion that they are the best things in your life. But, no progress at all; rather make your life nothing but hell in later time. 

Our dharma firmly says to follow Shreya Marg. On this way of life, you have to restrict your distracted mind. You make those things part of your life which seem to be bitter at first, but they prove to be life upgrading factors in the coming years of your life. They ensure happy and healthy future. And, You lead a quality life in the years to come. You come out to have a brilliant and confident personality.
