Harigovind R Varma, a student from Class XII at Amrita Vidyalayam Edapally, has been selected for the prestigious Prerana Program, an experiential learning initiative organized by the Ministry of Education under the guidance of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. In a remarkable achievement, Harigovind is the only boy selected out of 20 students from across Kerala, specifically from the Ernakulam district, to participate in this exclusive program.
The Prerana Program is a flagship initiative aimed at empowering young minds through experiential learning, designed to integrate traditional Indian values with modern technologies. The program was held in the ancient city of Vadnagar, which holds historical significance and serves as a bridge between India’s heritage and modernity.
Out of the 20 students selected nationwide, Harigovind, along with his peers, participated in an 8-day fully residential training where they explored core values of Indian culture such as vividhata aur ekta, shaurya aur sahas, swabhiman aur vinay, parishram aur samarpan, satyanishta aur shuchita, and karuna aur seva. In addition to cultural learning, the program also included hands-on experiences with modern technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, laser technology, and holograms.
What made the experience even more memorable was the opportunity to interact with diverse cultures and customs from across India, making it a truly enriching experience for Harigovind and the other participants.
Adding to this prestigious accomplishment, Harigovind received an appreciation letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, personally acknowledging his participation and achievements in the Prerana Program. The Prime Minister’s message emphasized the transformative power of experiential learning and the importance of integrating value-based education with modern learning practices.
Amrita Vidyalayam, Edapally, is proud of Harigovind’s achievement and the recognition he has received. His participation in the Prerana Program is a shining example of how Amrita students continue to excel, not only academically but also in extracurricular and leadership initiatives.
