Salient Features

Amphitheatre

The terraced cemented seats and platform in Gyanodaya, which are located next to the yoga and meditation park, are commonly referred to as the amphitheatre. This space is frequently utilized by teachers and students for their theatrical performances and practices.

Art, Music, Dramatics, etc.

Art, music, and drama have become an integral part of the education system, universally adopted. It is impossible to imagine a kindergarten class without the use of rhymes, pictures, colors, and fun activities. These elements play a crucial role in evoking emotions, developing critical thinking, enhancing cognitive abilities, and promoting overall mental growth, culminating in well-rounded individuals equipped with various skills, knowledge, empathy, philanthropy, compassion, and a zest for life. Gyanodaya Bal Batika offers children platforms to showcase their artistic and musical talents, providing them with training from professionals in a wide range of creative fields, including drama. Additionally, experienced English teachers guide children in developing their theatrical skills.
