MELANGE: The Literary Fest

25 April – 2 May 2022

 

Reading encourages children to explore and imagine, build vocabulary, derive connections between stories and their own lives, and ultimately become lifelong readers as well as curious and independent learners.

The library as a dynamic space to nurture a reading community helps children to discover the joy of reading with amplifying impact. We, at DAV Public School, Sector-14, Gurugram, are committed to the goal of promoting Reading Literacy, supporting UN Sustainable Development Goal 4- Quality Education for All. The Literary Festival – Melange is celebrated every year to celebrate Books and Reading.

 The festive celebration of International Book Day gives a zestful platform for the announcement of MELANGE: THE LITERARY FEST. The Reading pledge by the students of the entire school sets the tempo for the upcoming activities of the Literary Fest. Melange encases the activities in the three languages- English, Hindi, and Sanskrit.

As a part of being our proud association with CBSE Reading Mission, Melange 2022 for classes I to VIII is based on “Storyweaver” (an open-access digital repository of stories for children from Pratham Books). It gives access to a wide range of stories set in locations they can recognize, featuring characters they can identify through curated activities supporting various themes.

 For the Senior Wing (Grades IX-XII), the theme for literary activities is India@75: Celebrations of 75th Year of independence (Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav)

This theme promotes the idea and an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of progressive India and the glorious history of its people, culture, and achievements.

This Mahotsav is dedicated to the people of India who have been instrumental in bringing India thus far in its evolutionary journey.

Azadi ka AmritMahotsav is an embodiment of all that is progressive about India’s socio-cultural, political, and economic identity. The official journey of “Azadi ka AmritMahotsav” commences on 12th March 2021 which starts a 75-week countdown to our 75th anniversary of Independence.

Melange Festival covers this theme through an array of activities ranging from Poster making, creating Videos on Events Narration from India’s Freedom Struggle, patriotic Songs, Book Marks, Documentaries, Slogans, and a lot of more. The activities for the event are designed in such a manner that they spur interest in books and reading, ignite the spirit of patriotism, improve literacy scores, increase librarian-teacher interaction and transform the School Learning Resource Centres into inspirational spaces.
