On 10th August 2024, the NSS unit at CVV visited the Government Upper Primary School in Kakkanad, Piravom, at the request of the headmistress Ms. Usha V. J.
The school, though in relatively good condition, showed signs of wear and tear that come with time. The dedication of the teachers was evident. They were knowledgeable, deeply cared about the students, and extended warm hospitality to our team.
65 students from the education department, psychology department and engineering department were assigned the task of creating an engaging learning environment. The team painted the walls with vibrant educational illustrations as a learning aid. In addition to the artistic contributions, the team took on the task of weeding the school grounds, ensuring that the outdoor spaces were clean and safe for the students. The team also cooked meals for themselves and the school board members.
Between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm, the team successfully repainted the school walls and drew creative art. The floors were cleaned, and the school’s name was prominently rewritten in bold, painted letters at the entrance, giving the school a fresh and welcoming appearance.
The exercise was not just about physical labour but about contributing to the bettering of the educational environment for young minds.
