Key Features of the Vidya Vikas Program
The Vidya Vikas program stands apart from regular academic tutoring because it focuses on the whole child — not just intellectual development, but moral, emotional, and cultural growth. Each session in the Vidya Vikas program includes interactive activities, storytelling from Indian wisdom traditions, yoga and mindfulness exercises, teamwork challenges, and creative expression through art and music.
Children in the Vidya Vikas program are introduced to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita in an age-appropriate, engaging manner. They learn concepts like dharma (duty), seva (selfless service), ahimsa (non-violence), and satya (truth) through games, discussions, and real-life examples rather than rote memorization.
How the Vidya Vikas Program Is Conducted
The Vidya Vikas program is delivered through regular sessions in schools, weekend workshops in community centres, and intensive summer camps. Each session is led by trained facilitators who are passionate about value education and skilled in working with children of different ages and backgrounds.
A typical Vidya Vikas program session lasts 60-90 minutes and includes a warm-up activity, a value-based lesson or story, a group exercise, a creative activity, and a closing reflection or meditation. Sessions are conducted in both English and Kannada to ensure accessibility for all participants.
