A patriotic bond

AIS VKC Lucknow

About 170 students from Class I-IV came together on August 11, 2025, to honour the nation’s heroes by celebrating Rakshabandhan with seven soldiers of the 6/11 Gorkha Rifles, led by Naib Subedar Dipesh Gurung.
The soldiers were accorded a warm welcome by school principal Rachna Mishra and the young Amitians. Adding to the festive spirit was a special assembly by 50 students of Class II, who showcased the significance of Rakshabandhan through songs, dances, and skits. This was followed by a soulful ceremony, during which students from Class I, III, and IV tied rakhis on the soldiers’ wrists, offered sweets, and expressed  gratitude for their selfless service and sacrifices for the nation.
The most memorable moments came when the valiant soldiers, deeply moved by the love and respect they received, shared a heartfelt message with the students: “On this sacred occasion of Rakshabandhan, we feel deeply honoured by the love and respect shown by the young Amitians. Every rakhi tied on our wrists today is not just a thread, but a promise that strengthens our resolve to serve and protect the nation with greater dedication. We pledge to uphold the legacy of the Gorkha Rifles and continue our service with courage, loyalty, and discipline. Jai Hind! Jai Maa Kali! Jai Gorkha Rifles!”

Tribute to tribes

AIS Vasundhara 6

Students of Class VI participated in the activity ‘Tribal Living: Sustainable Living’ on August 22, 2025, wherein they explored sustainable practices of Indian tribes. Through informative and creative presentations, they shared valuable insights into the sustainable lifestyles of tribal communities like Khasi, Garo, Gond, Bhils, Santhals, Bhutia, Apatani, etc.
They also enriched everyone’s knowledge about nature-friendly tribal practices like crop rotation, afforestation, terrace farming, herbal pesticides, rainwater harvesting, bamboo channels, check dams, locally sourced culinary tradition, art forms harmonious with nature etc. The students coveyed the message that urban living, too, can become sustainable by adopting such practices.
