Subject: Calendar of Student Enrichment Activities 2024
The Central Board of Secondary Education is dedicated to delivering top-tier education that nurtures the intellectual, social, emotional, and cultural development of its students. With a commitment to fostering a learning environment that empowers the future citizens of the country, the CBSE aims to cultivate individuals who can emerge as global leaders in our rapidly evolving, knowledge-driven society. The board is steadfast in creating a stress-free educational atmosphere, aiming to nurture competent, confident, and enterprising individuals for the nation.
In line with this visionary approach, the CBSE has introduced and consistently conducts a diverse range of student enrichment activities throughout the year. These include the Expression Series, Heritage India Quiz, Science Challenge, Science Exhibition, Aryabhatta Ganit Challenge, Reading Challenge, Storytelling Competition, Sports and Games Competitions and more.
Looking ahead to the upcoming year, the CBSE will continue to organize these existing activities and will also unveil new initiatives. A comprehensive calendar detailing these student enrichment activities planned for 2024 is provided in Annexure-A. These enrichment activities play a pivotal role not only in fostering students’ cognitive, social, and emotional growth but also in exposing them to a diverse array of activities that encourage the exploration of new hobbies and interests. The primary objective of these activities is to equip students with the skills and attitudes necessary to confront and overcome future challenges.
Guidelines for Schools
- Organize these activities as given in the calendar during the year by integrating them in the school calendar/regular activities of the school.
- Prepare an annual action plan for the effective implementation of these activities.
- Ensure appointment of Nodal Teacher(s) in the school to plan and conduct these activities and report on CBSE ASAR App.
- Ensure the participation of each student (as per their interest) in at least two activities conducted by CBSE during the year. The student’s participation in these activities should be reflected in their Portfolio as part of Internal Assessment.
- Share the information with the concerned stakeholders and encourage them to avail these opportunities.
- Visit the CBSE website www.cbse.nic.in and www.cbseacademic.nic.in for regular updates on these activities.
