VISIT TO REHOBOTH HOME FOR THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED | Alpha Arts and Science College Chennai

Christmas is a time of charity and goodwill. This year AIS students donated clothes, groceries, eatables etc. to the Rehoboth Home for Mentally Challenged, Somangalam. It houses mentally ill and mentally challenged adult women. They have a farm as well as poultry within the campus in which these women engage themselves in. This was the first time the children were seeing such women. It sensitized them towards the plight of such hapless people and made them appreciative of their own natural endowments and blessings as well as the love and care of their parents.

VICE CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE

“Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself”, -John Dewey.

Alpha concurs on the magnitude of this statement and strives to impact the lives of the students under its fold with positive and transforming learning experiences. The holistic intervention in education is imperative in every stage of the growth phase of the student.

We are thus constantly striving to provide a conducive environment to create a balance in the academic, emotional, spiritual, creative and physical development of students. We believe that in today’s world where change is constant and fast-paced, we need to, as educators are adaptable to the continuous innovative and improvised models and trends in education research. This helps us to deliver the quality of highest standards and provide a firm foundation for the holistic development of our students. The learning environment in the classroom is also aimed at teachers being sensitive to the various needs of different learners.

John F Kennedy once said, “A child miseducated is a child lost”, thus at Alpha, we go the extra mile to delve into all the developmental aspects of the student. We provide continuous training to our staff, in order that they may be agents of qualitative and holistic transformation in the lives of the students who pass through the portals of our Institutions.

Alpha continuously strives for excellence in the field of education by accepting the best practice from around the globe and implementing innovation in our instructional practice to provide an impetus and develop students to be worthy leaders and citizens of our nation.

At Alpha, we believe that the training of the mind to develop lateral thinking and the ability to process knowledge and information in a critical and analytical manner are skills which are imperative in today’s competitive world. The skills to be imbibed in order to interpret and apply the knowledge imbibed and to provide solutions to complex problems and the ability to make informed decisions is a very essential quality much sought after in the corporate environment. Thus, we ensure that these skills are developed by benchmarking our teaching and training to the best global practices and research.

The true goal of education is not to be self-serving but to serve and contribute to society with empathy and benevolence. We aspire to make every student in our care, blossom into responsible and thinking individuals who would be life-long learners and be agents of transformation and thus worthy citizens. I would like to reiterate this commitment by quoting the Dalai Lama,

“When educating the mind of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.”

“WE SHOULD HAVE SELF-RESPECT IN ORDER TO MAKE OTHERS RESPECT US” | Alpha Arts and Science College | Chennai

The following blog is written by the students of Alpha arts and science college Chennai, about the division between humans both mentally and physically.

BEING HUMAN

We, as humans face so many problems physically and mentally. They may be direct or indirect. One such indirect mentally challenging problem is language. In India, we have so many religions and languages and we are not only divided physically (by physical boundaries) but we are also divided mentally because of the differences in our language, custom, and tradition.

We know a proverb called “UNITY IS STRENGTH”, this says people are strong and will become the strongest when they are united. We will take continent Asia for an example, Asia has different countries, which have different languages in it, but India is the only country, which has many languages, and it is unique. India is unique but not united.

People from other countries and continents may realize our country India’s richness in resources, religions, and languages. Even though they realize our wellness, we the people of India have not respected our Uniqueness. We have not realized the achievements of our own country when the outsiders can.

“WE SHOULD HAVE SELF-RESPECT IN ORDER TO MAKE OTHERS RESPECT US”

We as Indians should respect our ancestors, achievements, and uniqueness. We should be united irrespective of religion, caste, and languages. People lose their precious things by having a desire for an empty treasure, which is far away from them.

Therefore, let us not become the people who lose their identification and their country. Let us respect our identity, uniqueness and be united.
