Philanthropy, real-life dealings all in Vidhyanchal

Philanthropy, real-life dealings all in Vidhyanchal: "Philanthropy, real-life dealings all in Vidhyanchal

Pune, March 14: IT�S a novel way of making students learn and get a taste of how to handle real-life situations. Students of Vidhyanchal (Spring Dales) took the parents and visitors on a virtual shopping spree by establishing a mini-market. Right from peanuts to wall hangings to modern chic bags, the students displayed the maturity of shopkeepers while they bargained and haggled over the prices.
Says, Anjali Bhende, principal, ��I never wanted to teach practical lessons from books and thus I embarked upon this idea wherein the children get familiar with the mental mathematics, learn communication skills and enhance their vocabulary.�� "
