MUN CLUB
As the student club’s steppingstone, we had an introduction session where everyone introduced themselves in the club, breaking the virtual boundaries we might have set for ourselves in the past year we had to spend online. We also had the ABCs of the MUN so that everyone from 6th grade to the 12th grade came up to speed to why and for what the club exists in service of the student.
The second class introduced everyone to the basics of Rules of Procedure of MUN including motions and points. Introduction of the official documentation was also introduced to them. They were also told to make a research document on what they know about the current situation in Afghanistan post the Coalition Forces pull-out.
Next class onward they will be making their General Speaker’s List so that they can understand the flow of the committee best as a simulation is the best way possible to train them.

Creative Hearts
(The Visual Arts Club)

An art club is a place if you want to explore art making and unleash your creativity. From colours to clay...the experience of creating is satisfying and opens up new avenues of enrichment and expression. The objective of the Creative Hearts Club is to provide an extracurricular activity for those students who enjoy and/or excel in the visual arts area and are seeking a creative outlet in addition to their academic schedule. We have planned activities like drawing, painting, clay-modeling, collage, etc. Also when school functions in-person, students get creatively and actively involved in the process of creating artworks, backdrops, etc. for various in-school cultural functions, which gives the students opportunity to work in groups. In addition, the club will also provide guidance for preparing the students for participating in Government of Maharashtra’s drawing grade elementary and intermediate exams (not applicable this year due to pandemic) and guide the students to compile a portfolio for university application in the field of art and design. They will also be provided with guidance and information about participating in various art related competitions.
The artworks will be showcased on our website as a culmination of the club activity. (The culmination of the club activity will be an exhibition when the school functions in-person).
When the school is functioning online, the material will have to be procured by the students. The requirements will be discussed before initiating the activity.
The activities for this year are broadly planned as under:

Activity day: Tuesday.
Teachers:

Memories- Newsletter and Yearbook club

School newsletters and Yearbook are an essential part of communication between students, teachers, and parents. Hence, the newsletter club – ‘Gurukulian Gazette’ provides the latest updates on current and future events, achievements, exam dates, advice, trivia, and so on. The newsletter aims to have a monthly publication. This club also provides an opportunity for students to display their work and stay updated with the latest news. Updates include what each of the Diploma subject classes has been up to, what each club has been working on, upcoming events which may take place (such as competitions), and so on. The goal of this newsletter is also to provide an entertainment factor along with the informative factor, this includes artworks, movie/boom reviews, crosswords, comics, and so on.
The Yearbook on the other hand is an opportunity for treasuring the memories and would be published at the end of year 2 of DP.

The Bookworm’s Bureau
[THE BB CLUB FOR READERS AND WRITERS]
“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” – Margaret Fuller
Who are we?
The Bookworm's Bureau is the ‘Readers and Writers Club’ of MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul. The aim of the club is to inculcate the reading habit in students. It will serve as a space for the learners to promote their love for language and literature, a platform to discuss and critique books, to explore their interest in developing skills in reading and writing, and grow as a community of book-lovers.
What is our purpose?
There are numerous benefits that students can garner being a member of the book club. It introduces young minds to the world of academia and instils a lifelong love for learning. In addition, it improves reading fluency, enhances their vocabulary, improves comprehension of written words, develops better writing skills, improves oral verbiage skills and also develops research skills.
Moreover, our purpose includes developing the critical thinking faculty of students and also encouraging a deeper engagement with the learning process. Although children read for pleasure, we intend to introduce themselves to different elements of literature like plot, characters, settings and also compel them to think beyond these terms and learn how to write novellas, prepare speeches, create podcasts, etc. All this is done to make the children understand the author’s purpose and begin to draw their own conclusions. The inferences they draw and the group discussions that they take part in develops their analytical skills.
Furthermore, they learn to appreciate the beauty of literature by exploring how the lives and emotions of people are brought alive through printed words.
How do we aim to do it?
Our mission is to provide students with an enriching experience by exploring the world of books and genres. We put in work certain specific strategies to develop their skills and once mastered, watch them soar! We aim to make their learning experience an enjoyable one by engaging them in different collaborative activities and develop their skills in reading and learning. The main motivation is to make the students ‘book-bound’ as there are only a handful who are interested in reading. The reason behind this is that they do not yet know their area of interest. We provide them with a plethora of choices from various genres to choose from and when they find the one that excites them, there is no looking back!
Likewise, the reading of books beyond the limits of pleasure and analysing the techniques of the writer will make the children appreciate literature more. Thus, literary analysis expands a child’s ability to state their ideas in a more comprehensive manner using language as a tool. Furthermore, they develop conversational skills as well as writing skills when they put forth their thoughts and ideas about their understanding of a particular work and gain the confidence to face an audience or their peers.
Our main motive is to make the children grow as readers and lifelong learners through this practice. The small nooks meant for the bookworms are ready to invite them to their bureau!
The Fashion Club – “Be unique. Be bold. Be you.”
The Fashion Statement
In the 21st century fashion has become a household name. It dominates the world more than ever, and control not only the way people dress but also the way people feel and enact.
Nowadays, fashion is bold and daring, and this reflects a noughties generation that is not afraid to say what they think, or wear what they want. Fashion is not just a means of clothing, it is the essence of your personality and beliefs, and designers are well aware of the power they hold.
Trends in fashion unify women and men around the world, yet they still allow people the ability to portray their own individual style with ease. We still reflect and remember era's with the way people carried out themself, like the elegance and sophisticated Victorian era, Oor the following 40s, 50s and the 60s - they showed people were ready for a change and wanted to explore the unknown realms of fashion world, to current 21st century where fashion defines boundaries, religion, caste or creed. It stands with a whole universe within.
Fashion has changed from one second to the next, but what never changes is the hold it has over society, and the role it plays in the modern world.
In this contemporary epoch where modernization has come into play with advancement in technology and change in the thinking of people, fashion has become a status symbol in society. Moreover, the improvement in the production of raw material, exposure to experimenting with different elements of fashion, has created a need of new designs.
The youth of today is greatly influenced by the movies especially by the fashion being followed by the stars like the clothes, the hairstyles, shoes & other elements. They try to copy that and overtime, the trend followed by the majority of people becomes the catch of that particular time-period. It not only defines the person’s individuality but his intelligence of keeping up with the world.
Fashion has provided a way to incorporate and opened the doors to numerous opportunities for a number of professionals into one set where creative designers, raw material producers, hair stylists, make-up artists and other fashion designers lead this group.
In a nutshell, fashion defines the personality of a person. Remember, it's not about what you wear, but how you wear it.
A simple dress can become an over night sensation if worn the right way or a costly attire can waste all efforts if not worn correctly.
Fashion is more than just clothing’s. It helps you define yourself, your choices with your comfort. Set your own boundaries, the right elegant way or explore the bold sense of fashion just the right way. Re-invent yourself.
Be more than just an individual. Be unique. Be bold. Be you.
- Mrs. Jaya Shahi
