Buxar: A total of 45 students from classes VI to X at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Buxar, are learning Bangla as part of a seven-day Indian Language Summer Camp, which began on May 26 and will run till June 2.
The students are actively participating in the camp, which is designed to foster appreciation for India's rich linguistic diversity. School principal Meenakshi Nirmal said the camp offers students valuable practical exposure to Bangla, one of the 22 languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
"This camp is a step toward promoting mutual harmony and linguistic unity. It instils in children a sense of love and respect for the nation and its diverse languages.
Indian languages are part of our cultural heritage and it is our collective responsibility to preserve and promote them," she said.
The camp was inaugurated by the school librarian, Chaman Ranjan, who highlighted the cultural, social and educational importance of Indian languages. Bangla was chosen as the focus language for this year's programme. Students are learning basic conversational skills for everyday use with the curriculum made engaging through songs, debates, music and other creative activities.
As a special feature, the school's English teacher, Magdataprana Dutta, originally from Bengal, is conducting online sessions. Her sessions offer practical guidance on using Bangla in daily life. Under her mentorship, students are gaining confidence in speaking, understanding and applying the language.
In addition, music teacher Vinay Kumar Gupta is teaching Bangla songs, adding a fun and immersive element to the learning experience. All participating students will receive certificates upon completion of the camp, said principal Nirmal.
