BHUTANESE TEAM VISIT

A visit by four delegates from the education department of Bhutan enriched the students and teachers of DLDAV, Shalimar Bagh.

This is the beauty of an exchange programme. Students learn from each other, share knowledge and appreciate diversities.

The delegates were impressed by the beautiful campus which was dressed up for an education fair. The students of Class 5 dressed up in traditional attire welcomed the guests while the senior students entertained them with a cultural programme showcasing their love for India.

Principal Reena Rajpal applauded Bhutan’s distinction as the only carbon negative country in the world and urged the delegates to share the efforts being made by the government to achieve this feat.

Thereafter, the principal took them on a campus visit, showcasing the best practices of the school. The education officer and principals from various schools of Bhutan were amazed to see the prototypes created by students in the Atal Tinkering Lab such as Seed Cutter, Solar Inverter, Smart Automated Vehicle, and the designs made with the help of 3-D Printer and appreciated the innovative bent of mind of young learners. The delegates also lauded the paper recycling plant. They enjoyed watching the tiny tots learning through the BALA concept and EEDP programme. Smartboards in all classrooms and well-stocked library received praise. Delegates from the greenest country of the world shared their concept of Gross National Happiness with the students and also answered numerous questions put by them. DLDAV students learnt about the educational system, culture and customs in Bhutan. This exchange of knowledge and experiences will be treasured by both the school and the guest delegates from Bhutan.
