VKV Nirjuli HSS Latest News

The Amrit Parivar Sankul Pramukh Sammelan 2025 was organized by the Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalayas Arunachal Pradesh Trust (VKVAPT) at VKV Nirjuli on 5July,  2025. This sammelan brought together Sankul Pramukhs from four VKVs, namely VKV Balijan, VKV Banderdewa, VKV Itanagar, and VKV Nirjuli. The three-hour program was meticulously planned with diverse activities designed to engage participants, share knowledge, and strengthen community bonds.

Ma. Nivedita Bhide Didi, Vice President of Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Vivekananda Kendra did the margadarshan. 
Man. Nivedita Didi identified key issues affecting modern families: excessive mobile phone and social media influence on children, reduced family communication, rising selfishness and materialism, declining trust, and increasing divorce rates. She stressed that parents' behavior directly impacts children and emphasized creating safe environments for child development.

Keynote address by Ma. Bhanudhasji, General Secretary of Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Vivekananda Kendra. Ma. Bhanudasji focused on the significance of Amrit Parivar in the context of Arunachal Pradesh as well as the nation.
He emphasised on the positive and desirable changes that this will bring not only in the families, but also in the state as a whole, which will make Arunachal an ideal state in the near future. 

The Amrit Parivar Sankul Pramukh Sammelan 2025 at VKV Nirjuli represents a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts of VKVAPT to create an ideal social system. By bringing together families, this event reinforces the organization's commitment to nurturing not just academic excellence but also character development and cultural values.

The International Day of Yoga 2025 was celebrated with great enthusiasm and spiritual fervor by Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya (VKV), Nirjuli, across nine different venues. The event aimed at fostering awareness about the importance of yoga in promoting physical health, mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual growth. This year’s celebration was significant for its multi-location outreach, active participation of teachers, and commendable volunteering by students of Classes IX-XI, who played a leading role in organizing and conducting sessions at all venues, emphasizing the theme of the year holistically.
We conducted yoga sessions across multiple venues, including ITBP, Hanuman Mandir, NEEPCO Doimukh, SP Office, NERIST, Arunachal Seva Sangh, VKV Nirjuli (primary campuses), and VKCTE. Each session was led by student volunteers and included practices such as loosening exercises, Surya Namaskar, selected Asanas mentioned below, Pranayama, and meditation. The programs were thoughtfully designed to suit the participants, ranging from police personnel and office-goers to parents, children, and trainee teachers. The serene, disciplined, and spiritually uplifting environment at each venue enriched the experience. Notably, the entire teaching staff participated enthusiastically, and Class XI students took a lead role in organizing and conducting sessions, making the celebration a holistic and inclusive success.
Across all venues, a structured yoga module was followed that included:
•    Loosening Exercises: Gentle movements to warm up the body, increase joint mobility, and improve flexibility.
•    Stretching Exercises: Including Tadasana, Kati Chakrasana, and Triyak Tadasana to improve posture, body alignment, and blood circulation.
•    Surya Namaskar: A dynamic sequence of 12 postures that serves as a full-body workout, enhances stamina, and synchronizes breath with movement.
•    Asanas: Vrikshasana, Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, and Trikonasana to improve concentration, digestion, spinal health, and body balance.
•    Pranayama: Anulom-Vilom and Bhramari Pranayama were practiced for their benefits in calming the mind, reducing stress, enhancing lung capacity, and improving mental focus.
•    Meditation and Sankalpa: Sessions ended with a short meditation and resolution to practice yoga daily, cultivating discipline and mental peace with the sankalpa “Daily Yogaabhyaas”.
The International Day of Yoga 2025 at VKV Nirjuli and different locations was a grand and purposeful event. The celebration extended far beyond the school campus, touching diverse sections of society—from temple devotees and police staff to scientists and future educators. The integration of yoga into community life through student leadership and teacher participation truly embodied the theme " Yoga for One Earth, One Health." The school remains committed to spreading this ancient wisdom as a tool for physical vitality, mental clarity, and national integration.
