We couldn't be happier! In an era when the art of writing has almost disappeared, we are thrilled that our young people are writing in longhand script. Given an assignment by our Vice Chairperson, Ms. Panchami Manoo Ukil , to write an essay on Khairi, the Tiger Princess of Similipal, after they had watched a documentary film on the legendary pet tigress, our children from Grades 5-9 turned in commendable handwritten scripts based on what they had seen and learnt. These are the moments that warm our hearts. It only happens at The DN Wisdom Tree Global School, a school as unique as your child!

Remembering Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Ambedkar

In keeping with our practice of introducing children to days of national importance, our young people from across grades learnt about the inspiring life and work of Babasaheb Ambedkar in classroom sessions to mark Ambedkar Jayanti. At The DN Wisdom Tree Global School, a school as unique as your child, we aspire to having our wards know the visionaries of our nation, and to value their contribution to national life.

May Babasaheb's legacy continue in how we, and generations to come, cherish and follow the ideals enshrined in the Constitution of India.

Every drop is precious, every drop counts!
Our youngsters marked the onset of the Odia New Year, Pana Sankranti, with the age-old practice of putting up the Basumati Theki, making Pana, sharing information about the day's traditions, closing with partaking of a special lunch comprising Odia dishes that are offered as prasad, marking the day.

Inculcating practices that are deeply connected to our rich cultural heritage - learning to make the season's traditional summer cooler 'Pana' that marks the Odia New Year, has been on the Wisdom calendar since inception. Odia cuisine is traditionally defined by seasonality, so much so that seasonal calendar dates are named after food and drink like 'Pana Sankranti'. 'Pana' is made, consumed and shared starting on Mahabishuba Sankranti, the Odia New Year which marks the beginning of summer. Made with different combinations of fruits, especially wood apple (Bael), yoghurt, and milk products like 'chhena' and 'rabdi', Pana is nutritious and greatly beneficial for health and immunity in the hot summer months. Wisdomites learn and imbibe these practices, helping them to engage with our cultural heritage early on.

Putting up the Basumati Theki - the sacred earthen pot tied from a bamboo and coconut leaf canopy over a tulasi plant, into which they poured Pana, the signature cooling drink of the season, and water, that would drip down in drops over the tulasi through the day, keeping it watered. This ritual is symbolic of the need for water and shade to be available for all to keep cool, during the ensuing summer that sets in with Pana Sankranti, and, a pointer to serve water to all thirsty beings as obligatory humaneness.

At The DN Wisdom Tree Global School, a school as unique as your child, our Heritage Code ensures that each day and every season we stay connected to our roots. Since inception, as we practice, observe and celebrate everything Odia - culture, history, tradition, cuisine, et al., we take immense pride in our roots and work towards anchoring children in the wisdom therein. Our keen interest in disseminating the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) continues unabated. And we are delighted that the Department of Odia Language, Literature & Culture, Government of Odisha, has taken the initiative to observe Odia Pakhya from 1st April to 14th April 2025, to highlight and celebrate our heritage and culture. Here are vignettes of activities we take our children through the course of the academic year.

It was with great pride and joy that as part of our Odia Pakhya observance we had a special session on the legendary Odia primer, Chhabila Madhu Barnabodha, for all grades. Written by Bhaktakabi Madhusudan Rao, and first published in 1895 with eight editions thereafter, Chhabila Madhu Barnabodha became part of every Odia household. It demonstrates how Odia alphabets, words, word formation and phrases can all be taught in a simple manner, using imagery of animals, birds, seasons, and sceneries with short verses. Understanding our mother tongue is essential to our identity and for learning pure Odia, the Chhabila Madhu Barnabodha remains incomparable as the introductory primer. The session had a considerable impact on children, who enjoyed learning about this historic primer, while mentors joyfully presented it to them.

Continuing our observance of Odia Pakhya, today we introduced our children to the world renowned Heritage Crafts Village of Raghurajpur. Children got acquainted with the famed crafts and art forms practiced by the skilled artisans of Raghurajpur, including the making of Pattachitra, and the importance of Pattas in the rituals of Shree Mandira. They learnt about the Gotipua dance form and its masterful exponents. They had a glimpse of the toys, masks and murals of Raghurajpur village. We believe that children must know and explore the immensely rich cultural heritage of Odisha, and our efforts will remain untiring in enabling this knowledge in their educational journey.

In keeping with our Odia Pakhya observance, a special screening of Rabana Chhaya documentary was organised so that children get acquainted with this beautiful shadow puppetry art form of Odisha. Mentors introduced the art form and told children about how the puppets are made, how they are manipulated for their shadows to fall appropriately on the screen, how the themes tell the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata, and how the narrator and singers give voice to the stories along with the accompanying musical instruments. Children watched in rapt attention as the magic unfolded, completely engaged in this new art form that they were seeing for the first time.
