On June 10th 2024, our Vidyalaya celebrated Herbs and Spice Day with a delightful event that brought together teachers and staff in a unique and engaging manner. The event was organized with the aim of educating participants about the various herbs and spices, their benefits, and their importance in daily life.
The celebration began with the collection of around 18
different spices, each with its own distinct aroma and texture. The highlight
of the event was a blindfolded game where teachers were asked to identify these
spices using only their sense of touch and smell. The game saw enthusiastic
participation, with two teachers taking the lead while the rest enjoyed the
spirited competition.
The atmosphere was filled with excitement as teachers
tested their knowledge and sensory skills. Among the participants, a winner was
chosen based on the number of correctly identified spices, adding a competitive
edge to the fun-filled activity.
Following the game, Srivastav Sir delivered an insightful
talk on the benefits of various spices in our daily lives. He emphasized the
importance of incorporating these natural ingredients into our diets and
maintaining a stock of them at home for their numerous health benefits to balance the three doshas, the basic human types. His
talk enriched the participants' understanding of the holistic advantages of spices
beyond their culinary uses.
The event concluded successfully under the guidance of
Principal Meghna Kakoty Didi. Her support and leadership ensured that the day
was both educational and enjoyable for everyone involved. The event wrapped up
with the distribution of gifts to the participants, followed by the Shanti
Path, which brought a peaceful and reflective end to the day's activities.
Herbs and Spice Day at our Vidyalaya was an amazing experience that highlighted the essential role of
spices in our lives. The event not only provided valuable knowledge but also
fostered a sense of community and fun among the teachers.
This celebration was a testament to the school's commitment to holistic education and well-being, making it a memorable day for all participants.
