Strengthening Bonds: Supporting Our College Students' Journeys |
In September, we hosted an engaging meeting with our college students, both on-campus residents and those living near their colleges. These meetings serve as an opportunity for students to share updates on their academic journeys and personal achievements, and to discuss their inspiring future aspirations.
This session covered essential topics, such as scholarship opportunities, maintaining connections with sponsors, and discussions about the importance of responsibility and respectful behaviour as representatives of KSV, a role that each of our students should be proud to uphold.
By maintaining these vital connections, we support our students beyond graduation, helping them thrive as they move forward in their educational journeys. |
Renuka’s Journey in Kathak and Beyond |
We are proud to announce that one of our students, Renuka Sulagekar, has begun a five-year integrated degree in Kathak Dance, at the Savitribai Phule Pune University under the guidance of renowned Kathak exponent Guru Shama Bhate (Shama Tai).
Renuka's dedication to Kathak Dance is unwavering. She aspires to become a Kathak dancer while also exploring other academic areas to establish herself as an independent woman, creating a better future for herself and her family.
Renuka’s journey is not just her own, but an inspiring example for all our students, faculty, and the community interested in the arts and education. It's a testament to the power of pursuing diverse passions and building a fulfilling career. |
Inter-School Sports competition |
After rigorous training and intense matches, the Kabaddi team celebrated a remarkable victory by winning the district-level championship against the Ittigati, the best Kabaddi team in the district to this day.
We are also proud to share that two players, Swetha and Sangeeta, have been selected to participate in the state-level championship camp. Their dedication to sports has opened new doors for them, and we eagerly anticipate the heights they will reach in this new adventure.
The team’s success is a testament to the unwavering dedication of their sports teacher, Sunil Goravanakolla, and their coaches, Vittal, Aditya and Mohammad, senior students who have tirelessly trained their peers. |
Exploration & Enrichment Programs |
Exploring Beyond the Classroom through Discovery & Development Sessions

The sessions have been a diverse mix of activities, including visits to local universities where students explored topics like zoology and sustainable farming and engaging workshops on writing, environmental awareness, and the history of the Olympics.
Students also engaged in discussions about the law, recycling, and teamwork while participating in activities that promote both physical and mental growth. These discussions and activities were designed to have a practical application in the students' lives, reinforcing the value of the sessions.
These sessions are an ongoing opportunity for students to explore new areas of knowledge and develop essential life skills. The fact that these sessions are continuous ensures that students have a consistent platform for growth and learning. |

Preserving Tradition with the Miraj Artis |
As part of our ongoing project with the Indian Foundation for the Arts, we hosted a unique workshop focused on the art of making, repairing and restoring Hindustani Classical instruments, particularly the tanpura and sitar. This workshop, a key component of our 4 phase project with the IFA, is not just about music, but about fostering a deep appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of traditional Indian music and its instruments. During this workshop, the esteemed artisans from Miraj played a pivotal role in guiding our students. They led the students through the process of repairing instruments such as tanpura, tabla, sitar or harmonium. This activity included a hands-on demonstration where the students learned the technical aspects of instrument care. |
Honouring Freedom: Celebrating India’s Independence Day at KSV

We proudly celebrated India’s Independence Day with meaningful activities honouring the spirit of freedom. This day began with the ceremonial hoisting of the national flag, followed by the singing of the national anthem by our students.
This special day reflected the values of independence and unity, a great opportunity for our students to connect with India’s rich history. It also instilled in them a sense of national pride and responsibility, empowering them to contribute to the nation's future. |
Embracing Tradition: Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi at KSV

We joyfully celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi in September with our students and staff members. KSV was beautifully decorated, and a spirit of devotion and celebration filled the air. Everyone participated in the prayers and offered flowers, sweets, and heartfelt wishes, making the festival meaningful. |
As the semester came to a close, students returned home for a well-deserved break to celebrate Diwali with their families. This festive season allowed them to relax, reconnect with loved ones, and reflect on their achievements. The Diwali holiday, marking the end of a semester filled with growth and learning, was a joyful and rejuvenating way for students to prepare themselves for the exciting months ahead. |
