From incredible performances to colorful food and game stalls, every moment was packed with joy. What Is Uphaar
“Upahaar,” meaning “gift” in Sanskrit, is an initiative designed to promote the values of sharing, caring, and gratitude among students. The program encourages children to not only receive knowledge and spiritual insights but also to actively participate in giving back to society. Through this, New Horizon Public School aim to nurture a generation of responsible and compassionate individuals.
Key Features of the Uphaar Initiative:
- Community Engagement : Uphaar programs often involve distributing essential items such as books, stationery, clothing, and food to underprivileged children and families. These activities help students develop empathy and a sense of community service
- Holistic Education: True to ISKCON's philosophy, the program blends academic learning with spiritual and moral education. Students are taught the importance of humility, gratitude, and generosity through practical acts of kindness.
- Cultural Events: Uphaar events typically feature cultural programs, including devotional music, drama, and dance performances by students. These activities reflect ISKCON's focus on preserving and promoting India's rich spiritual heritage.
- Prasadam Distribution: A highlight of every Upahaar program is the distribution of sanctified food (prasadam). Prepared with devotion, prasadam nourishes both body and soul, reinforcing the principle of sharing God's blessings with others.
- Environmental Sustainability: Many Uphaar initiatives include tree planting drives and awareness campaigns on sustainable living. This instills environmental consciousness in students and aligns with ISKCON's commitment to protecting Mother Earth.
