Co-curricular activities refer to all the activities performed by students to enhance their life skills. Wherein curricular activities comprise both academic and scholastic activities.
We at Eklavya Vidyalaya, Kalsi believe that in moment’s largely competitive world, it is not only important to be academically on the top but a child should be on the top in co-curricular conditioning as well.
Co-curricular activities play an important role in building the personality of the child, boost their confidence and also improve their social and organizational skills in all the fields of life
Competitions at the school level are about more than just participation and earning awards. They may help students discover and nurture their innate skills. This is especially true at art competitions, where kids get a chance to showcase their creative and artistic ability. For youngsters and teenagers, this may be life-changing.
