School Complex Meetings:
1. School Complex Meetings School complex meetings are discussion forums for teachers at complex level, for Foundational school on various subjects . Organising these trainings at a complex level is one strategy to enhance the capacity of teachers and provide continuous support to the teachers for the improvement of their pedagogy.
This can also be considered as a decentralised and context based support that teachers have access to throughout the academic years. This platform will also be able to provide a space for teachers to identify and develop solutions that they face in classes currently.

We Love Reading:
- The main objectives of WLR are effective utilization of school libraries, inculcate reading habit among students and make students as independent life long readers.
- In the first phase of the programme all schools divided the available books in the school library into 4 levels i.e picture based, single sentence , small para, big stories.
- Organized BOOK BANK in schools to collect books from donors.
- Conducted Community Reading Centers to engage students.
- One period in a week is totally dedicated for library book reading in the timetable.
- DIET students conducted reading sessions at their village community.
Suggested activities while reading books:
- 1. Me and my book: After reading the book, everyone has to write their opinion on that book. Like own ideas and feelings about the characters, situations, pictures regard the book.
- 2) Books in the shelf: Visit Friends and relatives houses. Try to list out the names of the books found with your friends and relatives. Discuss on those books and note down the significance.

No Bag day for 1 & 2 Classes:
National Educational Policy (2020) suggested that there should be an interconnection between curricular and co-curricular areas. Hence, school should provide multiple opportunities to students to train them in enhancing their creativity and emotional wellbeing. An integrated plotform of arts, crafts and play is necessary for children to learn with joy.
For this purpose, No Bag Day has been introduced for classes 1 & 2. During the No Bag days, children do not get their bags to schools and do not engage in subject-specific academic activities. The First and Third Saturdays in the month are dedicated to nurture the other (Non academic/Co-curricular) aspects of child growth and make learning more fun and holistic. The focus areas on these Saturdays will be on life skills education, English language skills enhancement, physical activities, arts and crafts
