BVM SEC-39 CELEBRATED WORLD HERITAGE DAY WITH GREAT ZEAL

To instil pride in our rich legacy and promote the importance of preserving cultural treasures, BVM Sec-39 celebrated World Heritage Day with great zeal under the theme “Heritage: Our Legacy, Our Responsibility.”

The programme began with a thought-provoking teacher talk by the faculty of the Primary Wing, who sensitised students about UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India and the need to protect monuments, traditions, and intangible heritage. The talk emphasised the philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the world is one family.

An engaging documentary showcasing India's iconic heritage sites, from the Taj Mahal to the ancient caves of Ajanta-Ellora, was screened to broaden students' awareness and deepen their appreciation of the country's rich cultural legacy.

The literary spirit came alive through a declamation competition, where students expressed their views on “Why Preserving Heritage Matters Today.” Creative expression flourished during the Poster-Making Competition on the theme “My Heritage, My Pride,” with vibrant artworks adorning the display boards.

In the much-awaited Inter-House Quiz Contest on World Heritage Sites and the Slogan-Writing Competition, Lokmanya House emerged as the winner, displaying exceptional knowledge and creativity. The winning slogan, “A Nation Without Heritage Is Like a Tree Without Roots,” penned by Valina of Class V, Lokmanya House, received special appreciation.

Principal Ms. Upasna Modgil commended all the houses for their enthusiastic participation and congratulated Lokmanya House on its commendable victory. She stated, “A people without the knowledge of their past is like a tree without roots.” She further emphasised that such activities help students connect with their cultural identity and develop a deeper sense of responsibility towards preserving their heritage.
