A Small Act, A Big Impact
In a heartwarming initiative, students of Guru Jangeshwar School in Sirsa, Haryana, have developed a beautiful habit—bringing an extra roti (flatbread) in their tiffin for cows and birds. This simple act of kindness is shaping their character, making them more compassionate, and connecting them to nature.
Why This Initiative is Special
- Empathy & Kindness: Children learn to care for animals, developing a sense of responsibility towards all living beings.
- Emotional Growth: They feel a sense of joy and fulfillment by feeding hungry animals.
- Discipline & Routine: This habit teaches consistency and commitment from an early age.
How It Works
Every morning, students bring an extra roti and place it in a designated box. Later, these rotis are collected and taken to cowsheds (Gaushalas), while some are kept in open spaces for birds. This daily practice has become a part of their routine, reinforcing values of sharing and caring.
Beyond Feeding: Cleaning the Community
The school has gone one step further. Once a month, students, along with teachers, participate in cleaning their localities. They clear garbage from streets, ponds, and public places, ensuring a clean environment. This initiative teaches them civic responsibility and the importance of hygiene.
How Other Schools & Colleges Can Implement This Habit
- Start with Awareness: Conduct small workshops or sessions on kindness towards animals and the environment.
- Create a Collection Box: Place a box where students can keep food for animals. Assign responsible students to manage it.
- Partner with Gaushalas & Bird Feeding Groups: Schools can collaborate with local animal shelters to distribute the collected food.
- Encourage Community Cleaning Drives: Make cleanliness drives a regular activity in schools and colleges.
- Involve Parents: Schools can encourage parents to instill similar habits at home, like keeping water bowls for birds.
The Long-Term Impact
Such small yet meaningful habits can create a generation of responsible and kind-hearted citizens. Schools and colleges must take inspiration from Guru Jangeshwar School and implement similar programs.
Let’s make kindness a habit, one roti at a time!
