Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, Karnataka Prant, Hebbal Branch, successfully organized the "Bala Vikasa Shibir", a comprehensive personality development camp for children aged 5 to 9 years from April 1st to 13th, 2026. Held daily from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm at the Vivekananda Kendra Hebbal venue, the camp saw the enthusiastic participation of 21 children.
Each session commenced with the traditional lighting of the lamp and Shanti Paat, setting a serene and focused tone for the day's activities.
To deeply root the children in Indian values and culture, the curriculum featured a vibrant mix of stories, mantras, shlokas, and bhajans. The participants remained actively engaged through a variety of hands-on activities, including action songs, interactive games, yoga sessions, and "cooking without fire" workshops.
The Shibir culminated in a concluding program where certificates were distributed to the children in the presence of their parents. During this program, attendees were introduced to the wider mission of the Kendra through a Kendra Parichaya session, and parents were encouraged to contribute to various ongoing Seva activities. To ensure the continuous growth and nurturing of these young minds, the branch will transition these activities into weekly Samskaravarga sessions held every Saturday evening.
