Cultural Programs

Lezims & Kolatam

Lezims is a folk-dance of Maharashtra using an instrument called Lezims. Kolatam is another dance form that includes a stick and consists of making formation with fellow dancer. Though these forms of dance and instruments are new to many children, we are happy to see them showing curiosity and improving every day. This helps with body exercise and coordination, and most importantly in a fun way.

Bonalu Celebrations

In Telangana, every year in July people celebrate Bonalu festival. In schools, students do celebrations before or after the day of festival. Likewise, students in Nimmapally school celebrated Bonalu festival. Children Performed dance and presented bonam at the village gram panchayat office. Students got dressed in traditional attire. Some boys were dressed up like potharaju, which stood as the major attraction. School Staff, PET’s and Dance Master’s participated in the program. This inculcates local traditions in children’s mind (an important aspect of education).

Discipline & Grooming

Discipline is one of the most important traits to be a successful citizen. Whether it is respecting elders, following rules in the school or doing the homework, it needs to be developed from childhood. EArtH ensures students were following queue during their break times and maintaining good silence during leisure times and getting involved in drawing and handwriting practice.
