  • Heritage International School Celebrates Pi Approximation Day with Enthusiasm

    On July 22, 2024, Heritage International School in Pune marked Pi Approximation Day, an event dedicated to one of mathematics' most fascinating constants: π (Pi). This celebration aligns with Mary Beth’s sentiment, “We cannot hope that many children will learn mathematics unless we find a way to share our enjoyment and show them its beauty as well as its utility.” The day provided an opportunity for students and teachers to delve into the beauty and practical applications of Pi. Pi Approximation Day is celebrated annually on 22/7, symbolizing the fractional approximation of Pi (22/7). Pi itself is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. This mathematical constant not only holds significant theoretical value but also has countless real-world applications. At Heritage International School, students from classes 3 to 10 participated in an array of engaging activities centered around circles, circumference, and diameter. These activities aimed to deepen students' understanding and appreciation of Pi. Under the guidance of Principal Dr. Renu Patil and math teachers Mrs. Hemali, Mrs. Rekha N.S, and Mrs. Nutan, students enthusiastically engaged in creative and educational tasks designed to bring the concept of Pi to life. The celebration included interactive lessons where mathematics teachers explained the concept of Pi and its approximation, relating it to the date 22/7. This hands-on approach not only made learning enjoyable but also helped students grasp the infinite nature of Pi and its significance in both mathematics and everyday life. Students participated with joy and excitement, demonstrating their learning through various activities. The event successfully combined education with fun, showcasing the school’s commitment to innovative teaching methods. The school management praised the efforts of both students and teachers, recognizing the event as a creative and effective way to promote mathematical learning. Heritage International School’s Pi Approximation Day celebration was a testament to the school’s dedication to fostering a love for mathematics among its students.

  • "From Nashik to the Catwalk: The Inspiring Story of Snehal Sachin Jadhav"

    Born and raised in the picturesque city of Nashik, I, Snehal Sachin Jadhav, hail from a vibrant Gujarati family with a deep-rooted appreciation for modelling. Armed with a strong educational background in software, my journey took an exciting turn when I exchanged vows in the bustling city of Pune and started working as a manager in the HR department. Everything seemed fine, but then came a big moment in 2019 - a contest called VS Fashion View. I didn't know much about it, but I decided to give it a try. And guess what? I won with an impressive 3000 votes! That was my very first win in the world of modelling and which marked the inception of my modelling career. In the same year, I achieved the title of Mrs. Maharashtra 2019, a mere six months following my initial victory. This significant milestone ignited a fervent desire to transition from being a pageant queen to a legitimate model. The accolades continued to flow, culminating in the prestigious honour of being crowned Mrs. Shravan Queen 2019. Among numerous other notable awards and achievements, some of which have brought me significant recognition and respect include My Earth Foundation's inaugural model with a unique garbage-themed concept in 2020, and being honoured as the Face of Kalagram in 2022. This recognition also opened doors for me to collaborate with esteemed brands such as ORA Diamonds, PNG, Moolchand Mill, Nakshatra Sari, and Kalagram. As my career advanced, I faced some challenges, especially dealing with the politics in the industry. I felt a bit down when I couldn't find a brand to work with. But then, I had a thought: Why not be my own brand? So, I decided to start something on my own. Subsequently, I embarked on a mission to empower aspiring models in Pune, guiding and nurturing a cohort of 350 talented individuals, providing them with a platform to shine. This endeavour became a testament to the power of self-belief and the impact one individual can have in shaping the destinies of others. My story is about not giving up, believing in yourself, and making your dreams come true. From a small-town girl in Nashik to someone making waves in the modelling world, it's been an amazing journey. The path I chose was not always easy, but every obstacle only fueled my resolve. It's a tale of pushing through doubts and uncertainties, learning to trust in my own abilities, and ultimately, emerging stronger on the other side. From those early days in a small town, I set my sights on a world much bigger, and the journey towards that dream has been nothing short of incredible. Concluding this message for all women "A devoted woman who hasn't allowed her obligations to obstruct her aspirations. Each woman possesses a distinctive beauty, regardless of age, size, or any other external factors, with a treasure trove of hidden talents eagerly awaiting recognition. Embrace life to the fullest . So “ Jee le apnizindagiSimran ” is the apt message for all the beautiful and wonderful women out there.

  • Self-Branding Leads to Self-Love- Virendra Nirmalkar

    "If people like you, they'll listen to you. If people trust you, they'll do business with you." — Zig Ziglar Dear Reader, I’m Virender Nirmalkar, a TEDx speaker, TEDx curator, public speaker, Toastmaster, corporate trainer, entrepreneur, and radio host. Today, I want to discuss the importance of self-branding. But first, let me share a story. A few years ago, while in America, some colleagues took me to a laughter club. We laughed for two hours straight. Afterward, the host asked, "All the white people, did you enjoy the show?" They responded enthusiastically, "Yes!" "All the black people, did you enjoy the jokes and laugh at them?" They replied, "Yes!" Then, he pointed at me and asked, "And you, brown man right there, did you even understand the jokes?" I looked around, realizing I was the only Indian in the room. The host invited me onto the stage and said, "Talk about yourself, talk about your country, and how you felt." I replied, "In my country, the only brown thing we witness is brown bread." This sparked a conversation where I shared more about myself and my country. By the end of my speech, people were clapping for me. The next day, at the lunch table, my colleagues were asking about India and the places they could visit. I felt proud of the impression I made about my country. This experience highlighted three key insights about self-branding: 1. Stand Out: You need to distinguish yourself to remain relevant. Develop a unique skill set and keep improving yourself. Adding tags and labels such as doctor, professor, entrepreneur, social worker, or TEDx speaker helps validate your identity. 2. Representation: You always represent your company, country, and community. Be aware of who you are and how you represent yourself. When you leave your town, state, or country, you become a representative of that place. 3. Power of Words: Words are incredibly powerful. In the laughter club, I could have stayed quiet after the humorous yet humiliating start, but I chose to speak about my country, which made me proud. Effective communication can make a significant impact. Mentoring TED Ed talks for students under 18 has shown me that young people speak without fear, hesitation, or stammers. However, as we grow, societal conditioning and prejudices can hinder our self-expression. To combat this, join public speaking forums or Toastmasters clubs to practice and hone your skills. I encourage you to reach out if you want to join these platforms or even aspire to become a TEDx speaker. It can be a great validation for your profile. To summarize, remember the three lessons: 1. Always stand out. 2. Always represent. 3. Words are powerful. Self-love is crucial. Don’t stop learning—keep evolving.

  • Mayaa SH | Section 69 Of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, (BNS),The Matrimonial Law and The Protection of Women Against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act, 2013

    What is Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)? Mayaa SH — Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) stipulates up to 10 years imprisonment for engaging in sexual activity based on a false promise of marriage or other deceitful means. The law addresses situations where a man deceives a woman into having sexual intercourse by making false promises, such as marriage or employment, without any intention of fulfilling them. Key Provisions of Section 69: Deceitful Means: Engaging in sexual intercourse by deceitful means, including false promises of marriage, employment, or promotion. False Promises: Making a promise to marry or offering false inducements without the intention to fulfill them. Imprisonment and Fine: The offender can be punished with imprisonment for up to 10 years and may also be liable to pay a fine. Implications of Section 69: Legal Clarity: Section 69 provides clear legal definitions and consequences for deceitful acts leading to sexual intercourse, ensuring better protection for victims. Enhanced Protection: The introduction of specific provisions for minors and differentiation based on age enhances the protection for younger victims. "Whoever, by deceitful means or by making a promise to marry a woman without any intention of fulfilling the same, has sexual intercourse with her, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years and shall also be liable to fine," reads the Section 69 of the new Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. What is the understanding of Family Law in our country? Mayaa SH — Family Laws encompass the broad set of rules that are in practice regarding family matters, such as marriage, divorce, inheritance etc. There are some legally enforceable rights and duties that arise when one gives legal validation to the status of interpersonal relationships. Personal law, also known as family law or matrimonial law, refers to the set of legal rules and regulations that govern personal relationships and matters related to the family. Personal law deals with issues such as marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, inheritance, and property rights. The lack of understanding of the dynamics of matrimonial conflict by few, is much deeper and broader than what is superficially visible. Most of the pendency in the matters of prolonged proceedings can be evaded. For civil matters arbitration, mediation, negotiated rulemaking, neutral fact finding, and minitrials must be considered more rigorously. With the exception of binding arbitration, the goal of Alternate Dispute Resolution is to provide a forum for the parties to work toward a voluntary, consensual agreement, as opposed to having a judge or other authority decide the case. Wide margins of personal discretion and biases to look at a civil matter with a criminal outlook can end up setting unstable precedents; all of which has deep implications on those who fight legal battles within the ambit of family law. Women at large need to be respected as a separate, equal person and body. More insights are required for criminalizing marital rape based on moral and legal arguments for informative but also commendable insights need to to looked at for unbiased judgements. It was only in 2013 that section 354 of the IPC (outraging a woman’s modesty) was amended to widen the definition of rape and sexual assault. Similarly it was only in 1976 that marriage laws were amended to include cruelty and desertion as a ground for divorce. These instances show how challenging it has been for those struggling against patriarchy in India to ensure amendment and implementation of laws for ensuring women’s rights in a male dominated society. Family Law is a very sensitive section and often termed as the soft-law, the psychology of both the parties involved in litigation must also be studied while maintaining dignity and grace and mental well being of the couple as well. What did the Verma Committee recommend on Sexual Harassment at the Workplace ? Mayaa SH — Justice J.S. Verma Committee had recommended setting up of an employment tribunal instead of an internal complaints committee (ICC) in the Sexual Harassment at the Workplace Act. To ensure speedy disposal of complaints, the committee proposed that the tribunal should not function as a civil court but may choose its own procedure to deal with each complaint. An internal complaints committee as laid down under the act could be counterproductive as dealing with such complaints in-house could discourage women from filing complaints. Domestic workers should be included within the purview of the Act. The Committee has termed the Sexual Harassment Act “unsatisfactory” and said it did not reflect the spirit of the Vishakha guidelines — framed by the Supreme Court in 1997 to curb sexual harassment at the workplace. The Committee said any “unwelcome behavior” should be seen from the subjective perception of the complainant, thus broadening the scope of the definition of sexual harassment. The Verma panel said an employer should be held liable if He or she facilitated sexual harassment permitted an environment where sexual misconduct becomes widespread and systematic. Where the employer fails to disclose the company’s policy on sexual harassment and ways in which workers can file a complaint When the employer fails to forward a complaint to the tribunal , The company would also be liable to pay compensation to the complainant The panel opposed penalizing women for false complaints as it can potentially nullify the objective of the law. The Verma panel also said that the time limit of three months to file a complaint should be done away with and a complainant should not be transferred without her consent. The Protection of Women Against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act, 2013 The Act defines sexual harassment at the workplace and creates a mechanism for redressal of complaints. It also provides safeguards against false or malicious charges. Every employer is required to constitute an Internal Complaints Committee at each office or branch with 10 or more employees. The Complaints Committees have the powers of civil courts for gathering evidence. The Complaints Committees are required to provide for conciliation before initiating an inquiry if requested by the complainant. Penalties have been prescribed for employers. Non-compliance with the provisions of the Act shall be punishable with a fine. Repeated violations may lead to higher penalties and cancellation of license or registration to conduct business.

  • 'Empowering Resilience: Heritage International School's Anti-Drug Seminar'

    "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." This timeless adage underscores the resilience that Heritage International School aims to instill in its students through proactive initiatives like the recent Anti-Drug Awareness Program organized by the Rotary Interact Club members. The seminar, targeting students from Grade 6 to Grade 10, kicked off with an insightful awareness session. It featured the Grade 10 students, who formed the Anti Narcotics Committee of Heritage International School (HIS). This committee took the lead in educating their peers about the devastating effects of drugs and other intoxicants. Dr. Renu Patil, the Principal of Heritage International School, addressed the students with a powerful message. She emphasized the importance of choosing their peers wisely and resisting the influence of toxic individuals. "When given a choice, choose life over drugs and save yourself from trauma. The word 'addiction' itself sounds negative; it’s not for you. Always make the right choice," she urged. The seminar also featured teachers and counselors from HIS, who elaborated on the harmful impact and consequences of consuming intoxicants like alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. The school counselor enriched the session by presenting short films and a TEDx talk by Anil Avchat, the renowned founder of Muktangan Vyasanmukti Kendra. These resources, alongside a video from the Anti Narcotics NGO of India, offered the students a deeper understanding of the perils of drug use. The program left a lasting impression on the students, prompting thoughtful reflections and discussions. The management of Heritage International School—Founder President Mr. Krishna Bhilare, Secretary Mrs. Sangeeta Bhilare, and Director Mr. Kunal Bhilare—praised the students' initiative in raising awareness among their peers and schoolmates. Their collective effort stands as a testament to the school's commitment to nurturing informed, resilient, and responsible young individuals. By investing in themselves and their capabilities, the students of Heritage International School are not only protecting their future but also fostering a community of support and awareness. The Anti-Drug Awareness Program is a shining example of how education and proactive engagement can empower the next generation to make positive choices and build a stronger, healthier society.
