Udaipur United Round Table 234 celebrates Independence day with Lesser Privileged Children

This year Udaipur United Round Table 234 decided to celebrate Independence day in a different  style.  The thought was to liberate the kids from the clings of fake black magic tricks played by local Babas.

Ours is a land of mystics and gurus, Swamis and saints, India is a country enraptured with religious beings, where stories of miracles seem almost ordinary. Tales of divine intervention float out of local villages, yogis who can lie in roaring fires, healers who can cure the sick with a single touch, Sufi shrines that ward off bad spirits, and Hindu holy men who live for decades without a single drop of water or crumb of food.

But are these miracles truly blessings from a higher being, or simply an elaborate magic trick to attract fame and followers?

If we could free the kids from the mental captivity which has been a part of their upbringing, it would be true freedom.

Table Chairman Sourabh Jain invited the famed magician “Jadugar Karan” to the FTE School at Badi.

After the flag hosting and fabulous cultural programme done by school students the Magician was invited to the stage. The word Magic already had the kids enthralled and intrigued. They were sitting in silence waiting for magician to show them some out of the world things. The magician took the stage and played a few tricks popularly done by the Babas everywhere. Kids were amazed and they simply loved it. Then he explained how these and many other tricks are done by the magicians and other so called saints and how they fool people. He also explained in detail that how one should go beyond just what they are made to see and ask a “How” or “why”.

The programmed turned out to be a great success and was well received by everyone. The tablers felicitated Magician Karan and thanked him for his visit.

Is freedom just limited to physical freedom? A drive to free from every kind of slavery is an utmost need of today. Answer in our opinion is correct education.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”

Pune United Round Table 144 conducts NON FTE and HRD Session on Learning Science Through Experiments

At the onset of this writeup, Poona United Round Table 144 would like to thank Cooper Standard and its team to arrange for a great learning experience for kids of one of our FTE school’s in Pune in Sone Sanghvi on 24th August 2018. 

It was really the first time that these children were exposed to learning science through experimentation covering all fields of science from Chemistry to Physics in a 2 hour long exciting session.

From Litmus Paper tests to creating fake snow using baking soda to learning about parallel and series electrical circuits by doing it with their own hands, it was a superb exercise for them. The children also made their own Flag hoisting stands keeping in sync with the theme of the month. Five experiments were conducted covering all three branches of science.

This event not only created an eagerness among children towards applied science but also reconnected our Tablers with some cherished memories of their school from childhood. We do hope that this small event can lit up hunger towards science in some of these kids who may go on to become renowned scientists for India and the world.
