Summer break homework in Haryana: Meet soldiers, know more about Operation Sindoor
The upcoming summer holiday promises to be a month of creativity and character-building for Haryana's primary school students, who will spend a day with a soldier in the neighbourhood under 'Ek Mulakaat Sainik Ke Saath' home task and gain insight into Operation Sindoor and India's armed forces. The revamped June 1 to June 30 vacation assignment rolled out on Thursday under NIPUN Haryana mission discards the dull and embraces the dynamic. At the core of this year's summer homework is instilling among the tiny tots awareness about the pride of serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and paramilitary forces, sacrifices of soldiers and how to become an officer or soldier in the armed forces, said officials involved in drafting the summer break homework. Read: Not a single student from 18 Haryana schools passed HBSE Class 12 board exam Another facet of this back-to-basic and grass-root learning approach prepared for primary class students is that parents, and not teachers, will evaluate the homework. This year, the students will also track rainfall, plant fruit seeds, take selfies with soldiers, explore life skills like digital literacy, and community engagement—all woven into foundational learning outcomes. Students will also learn how to navigate google maps, identify currency apps, observe mosquito breeding grounds, play traditional games like antakshari and snakes and ladders, and regularly massage their grandparents' feet, who in return will share family stories. According to Pramod Kumar, state programme officer of NIPUN, the homework has been prepared to make education more joyful, inclusive, and deeply connected to everyday life while sparking curiosity and engaging kids in outdoor activities assisted by their elders. 'Parents will assess their child's engagement... Their observations will be shared in the first parent teacher meeting (PTM) in July, making learning a shared family affair,' says Kumar, who heads the six-member team that has prepared the homework separately for each primary class. The Class 5 students will have to deal with 41 activities, including full knowledge of the family tree, memorising names and phone numbers of a few family members and at least two relatives, postal address, names of prominent political personalities of their assembly segment, state and national leaders, and prominent players. 'We are not just assigning holiday work, we are trying to help students learn by living and to grow by doing,' Kumar said adding that all eyes will be on how students deal with 'Ek Mulakaat Sainik Ke Saath' task. Each student, with the help of parents, will meet either serving soldier or ex-servicemen in the neighbourhood. They will spend a day with that soldier, take selfies, learn about their experiences, and grasp the nature of their contributions. The student is expected to gather information on how to join armed forces as an officer or soldier, military training institutes, stories of bravery in military operation including Operation Sindoor. Based on the day-long interaction, the student will prepare a report and present it in the classroom. 'This task will develop patriotic feelings, students will learn about the sacrifice of soldiers, value of discipline, dedication, and challenging lifestyle of soldiers. Simultaneously this exercise will improve creative skills of students as they have to write a report, and draw a picture,' officials said. Designed to promote foundational literacy and numeracy in meaningful and contextual ways, this holiday homework shifts focus from rote tasks to real-life, hands-on, and reflective learning experiences. Civic and academic engagements are also part of the homework, including memorising Aadhaar and phone numbers of family members, and learning the names of national and local leaders. Reading assignments for Class 5 students include reviewing two library books, supported by short written and video reviews. The compiled work and observations will be discussed during a structured parent teacher meeting in July 2025, turning holiday homework into a collective, participatory educational journey.

From massaging grandparents' feet to discussing contemporary topics: a unique summer homework for Haryana Govt school students
During their month-long summer vacation starting June 1, students from classes 1 to 5 in Haryana government schools will engage in assignments instead of conventional homework. And, instead of school teachers, parents will evaluate their children's performance based on engagement in these activities. According to officials, this year, traditional homework has been replaced with experiential learning, encouraging students to connect with their families and actively participate in domestic tasks. These will include massaging their grandparents' feet, listening to their stories, and contributing to household responsibilities. Officials said the approach aims to foster familial bonds, respect for elders, and hands-on learning, making summer vacations more enriching and enjoyable. Pramod Kumar, State Programme Officer, NIPUN, told The Indian Express Thursday, 'For decades, teachers have assigned homework focused on handwriting improvement and various project works. However, this time, students from classes 1 to 5 will engage in activities that align with their natural interests, contribute to household responsibilities, strengthen family connections, and show respect for their elders.' Haryana NIPUN is a state-level initiative launched in 2021 to align with the Central government's NIPUN Bharat Mission, aiming to achieve foundational literacy and numeracy in both Hindi and English for all children. 'Summer vacations are meant to be enjoyable for children. We have designed a special curriculum that enables them to learn and contribute meaningfully while having fun. They will be encouraged to sing traditional songs, listen to stories from their elders, and discuss contemporary topics, ranging from recent events like Operation Sindoor to everyday subjects such as the rising prices of gold,' Kumar added. The Haryana School Education Department has already provided teachers with a detailed outline regarding the summer vacation programme. Parents will be invited to visit schools in July to share their children's performance in these activities with teachers. 'For evaluation purposes, parents will observe their child's engagement in activities for 72 hours during the vacation period, grading them based on participation, effort, creativity, and learning. Simple tasks like neatly arranging bedsheets, pillows, and blankets after waking up will also be considered. This approach fosters parent-child interaction and promotes shared responsibility in the learning process,' said Kumar. He said this new plan replaces the conventional, monotonous homework with a more engaging, experiential, and joyful learning framework. He added as it is designed to enhance foundational literacy and numeracy in a practical, contextual manner, the holiday homework shifts the focus from rote memorisation to meaningful, hands-on, and reflective learning experiences. From June 1 to June 30, children will engage in activities aligned with their interests, hobbies, and natural surroundings. These tasks will include conserving electricity and water, observing plant growth, tracking weather changes such as rainfall and temperature, and familiarising themselves with digital tools like Google Pay, Paytm, Google Maps, and Duolingo. Additionally, they will be encouraged to mark days on calendars, explore regional languages such as Haryanvi and Punjabi, and participate in traditional games like Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, and Antakshari. Officials said watching sunrises, moon phases, and stars will spark curiosity, while crafting toys and learning about natural cycles will foster a deeper, more joyful connection with science, the environment, and creativity — all seamlessly integrated with foundational learning objectives. Children's summer assignments will include civic and academic engagements, such as memorising Aadhaar and family phone numbers, learning the names of national and local leaders — including the Prime Minister, President, Chief Minister, MPs, and MLAs — and integrating core subjects like Mathematics, English, Hindi, Environmental Science, and Social Studies into their learning. Sukhbir Siwach's extensive and in-depth coverage of farmer agitation against three farm laws during 2020-21 drew widespread attention. ... Read More
