Edutainment days 15 and 16 October 2008
Education becomes more relevant if there is an element
of fun involved in it. With this in mind the school
organised a two-day edutainment extravaganza for the
students. The programme exposed the children to a hands-on
learning experience in creative arts like pottery, block
printing and warli painting. The children also watched
the classic movie Escape to Victory. Guest speakers
were also specially invited to interact with students.

The programme started with Colonel Lalit Rai, a recipient
of Vir Chakra, with a talk on the Kargil War.
Col. Lalit Rai was awarded the Vir Chakra for bravery
of an exceptional order and inspirational leadership
during the toughest battle in the Batalik region of
the Kargil war. His experiences of the Kargil war made
a stirring impact on the young minds of the listeners.
16 October 2008
Interaction involved a lively chat with Mr. Boman Irani,
a self professed photographer, an accomplished theatre
artist and one of the most loved entertainers of Hindi
cinema. His dynamic personality and humble nature touched
the hearts of the students.
Mr. Irani had an intense and meaningful discussion with
the students. He talked about how bullies are actually
cowards and how one should never give up on one's dreams.
He also talked about professional ethics and ended his
chat with a beautiful song.
Aamir Khan charms the entire school
14 July 2008 Mr. Aamir Khan was the first guest at the Aditya
Birla World Academy. He spoke about his struggle on
the road to success. The children realised that film
making is not just glamorous but also involves a lot
of agony and hard work. Students were overwhelmed by
his down-to-earth nature and fired questions at him,
which he answered sportingly.
