SHLOK GAYAN

The word shlok means 'song', and originates from the root śru or ‘hear’. A shlok is generally a couplet of Sanskrit verse. Shloks, which are repeated to aid concentration in meditation, have its origins from the Vedic period. Chanting shloks has many benefits. It releases positive energy and helps to keep us happy and healthy. In order to motivate the students to practise shlok chanting and make it a part of their daily lives, an online shlok gayan competition was organised on MS Teams for class 5 on 22.07.2021. Two to three participants from each section took part in the competition. They presented beautiful shloks and explained them too. All the participants were well versed with the shloks and impressed the judges with their presentation skills. Aditya Bhanu Singh (VD) won the First Prize, Aryan Rajput (VC) won the Second Prize, Dhairya Bhardwaj (VB) and Lakshay Gupta (VA) jointly won the Third Prize and Bhuvi Chugh (VC) won the Encouragement Prize.
