KVM values academic performance but it also
values fun !! So it organizes picnics, outings,
package tours and educational tours. Such
outings provide a splendid opportunity for
the teachers to get to know their children
better, through greater and personal interaction
and to understand the other facets of their
personalities which are so difficult to
observe in the classroom.

TRIP TO GOA
(Oct 19 to Oct 24,2010)
In the autumn break,
a five day trip to GOA had been organized
by the school authorities. The Trip was Ludhiana-Delhi-Ludhiana
via Shatabdi Express and Delhi-Goa-Delhi via
GO Air. The first day i.e. October 19, 2010.
The stay was at 'NIZMAR RESORTS". However
the rooms of the hotel were big enough for
sharing among four students. The services
and the food were just average. The places
listed in the itinerary have all been visited.

Students also enjoyed swimming in the hotel
pool. On October 24, 2010 the trip came to

At KVM students are encouraged to participate
in a number of activities. The motto of
such activities is "to lead is to
serve". They aim at rendering help
to all classes of society but most specifically
the poor and underprivileged section.
KVM opened its heart to the children of
the inmates of Central Jail, Amritsar.
Under the tutelage of India Vision foundation,
an NGO started by Dr. Kiran Bedi, these
underprivileged children were given toys,
books, furniture and colours. This warmth
and affection provided them with a new
hope, whose future seems to be far from
perfect.
In order to inculcate a spirit of adventrue
and love for wildlife and nature among
its students KVM adopted a park where
saplings were planted by the students.
It was conducted under the aegis of the
programme 'Earth Matters' where the students
took a pledge to save their environment
and Mother Earth.
To bridge the urban and rural divide by
sensitizing the students and for channelizing
their surplus energy, the project "Ullas"
was concieved with the aid of Government
Senior Secondary school at Dhandra, a
village at the outskirts of Ludhiana.
Under this project our students interacted
and trained the students of the village
in various areas like music, dance, art,
craft and sports besides learning folk
art from them.
The latest initiative in this regard
is the adoption of a school in a slum
area, Hindu Putri Pathshala by our "Prarth
Club". The students and staff are
contributing for helping that school in
meeting its infrastructural needs.
