Admission in Udgam School - (02-07-2015)
Nelson Mandela had rightly said Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change
the world. To prepare such igniting youth through education, we at Divya Darshan Bhawan constantly
try to provide platform to Divya Nagari Slum Children in all possible different ways.
On 1st of July, admission of 9 Divya Nagari Slum children
in Nursery and 1 kid in Play group in well-known and one
of the best school of Ahmedabad 'Udgam School',
Jodhpur Char Rasta, Ahmedabad had successfully
completed. Total education will be provided at free of cost
to these children by the Management of the Udgam
School. School dresses, books and stationary will be also
provided by the Udgam School. These children are
excited to go and study in CBSE School. Their parents are
feeling gratitude after finding their children going in
prestigious school at free of cost. Now these children are
taking education with other students belonging higher
socio-economic classes and will be trained accordingly.
Here are some of the photographs of the smiling
angels, wearing school uniform and going to
Udgam School. We believe that their carrier
now will take a new shape after entering into
such school and their entire education will be
completely free of cost. We express our deep
gratitude towards Resp. Brother CA.
Gautambhai Chokshi (Founder, Udgam
School) for admitting these children in Udgam
School.
We are trying to get few more kids' admission
in other such prestigious schools.

Small Saving Scheme for children - (10-07-2015)
Wealthy Children for Wealthy India
Divya Nagari-A Great Transformation Project
is a holistic and unique approach for the
development of the slum people. Efforts are
constantly being made from all different
directions to achieve the goal proposed in Phase-
II. It is said that savings is our elder brother. So
now we are targeting the economic stability and
financial upliftment of the society by introducing
Small-Saving Scheme for Divya Nagari Slum
Children. This Scheme is designed according to
the Indian Post Office Recurring Deposit Account.
In this scheme, a monthly fixed saving of a child will be
supported by equal contribution from his/her parents as
well as any well-wisher from Divya Darshan Bhawan,
Brahma Kumaris, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad.
Suppose, Rs.100 is the monthly fixed saving of a child
then Rs.100 will be contributed by his/her parents and
Rs.100 by any well-wisher from Divya Darshan
Bhawan, Brahma Kumaris, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad.
In total, Rs.300 will be monthly deposited in recurring
deposit account at Post Office opened in the name of that
child jointly with his/her mother, which will be available
to him/her with 8.4% PA interest at the end of 5 years.
In this way, not only a child but also their parents will be educated
for the small savings.
On 9th July, 2015, Thursday, a special meeting of Divya Nagari
Slum children and their parents with BK Ishitaben (Centre In-
charge, Navrangpura) and BK CA. Lalitbhai (Mount Abu), Mafa
Dada (Social Worker at this slum) was arranged to explain this
small saving scheme for Divya Nagari slum children. They
expressed their happiness and excitement for this scheme.
This will be helpful to parents as well as children for their financial freedom and will be proven as a
boon for future education. All these initiatives are outcome of all of your good wishes and support and
we wish the same, even in this saving project for the slum people.
Here are some of the photographs of the Divya Nagari Small Savings meeting and Smiley-bank which
were given to each child. Record of their savings is also being maintained in the register.

Rajyoga Shivir for Children (Class 5 to 12)
(From 20 to 25 Jul,2015)
We believe that process of transformation
involves the following vital steps of;
Realization, Liberation, Celebration and
Sustenance. Our initiative of transforming
Bhagat Ki Chali to Divya Nagari is also
following the above process. In this line of
efforts, we have initiated Rajyoga education to
Divya Nagari Slum children so as to make them
realize their original identity and provide them
with the spiritual base for successful and
positive transformation.
Under the instrumental inspirations, guidance and
efforts of B.K. Ishitaben (Centre In-charge,
Navrangpura, Ahmedabad) and B.K. CA.
Lalitbhai (Accounts Department, Mount Abu),
Rajyoga education shivir was arranged from 20th
July 2015 to 25th July daily from 6 P.M. to 7 P.M.
at Divya Darshan Bhavan.
Explanation about the knowledge of Self, God
and World Drama had played fundamental role
in changing these childrens attitude and action
to positive. Immediate change in their way of day
to day activities and behaviour are the key
indicators of success of Rajyoga shivir. To
evaluate the understanding of Rajyoga
Knowledge, a special exam was also conducted
on 25th July. All the children were excited and
enjoyed the entire shivir. All children performed
well even in the exam, indicating their
understanding in this field. We will soon share
the experiences of some of the children who felt
self-transformation in them.

Rajyoga Shivir for Children (Nursery to Class 4)
(From 20 to 25 Jul, 2015)
With the aim that these small divine innocent
gods angels will spread happiness and purity
through their words and actions after learning
Rajyoga, we initiated teaching rajyoga to small
children in creative and simple way. B.K.
Menaben conducted the shivir for these small
children. Rajyoga education and meditation
will bring values in the life of these young
children and will empower them with virtues.
These small children who are pure and divine
were being explained all the lessons about the
Self, God and World Drama in ingenious and
narrative way. Children were really very happy
after listing value based stories and Rajyoga
knowledge. At the end of this 5 days shivir,
which started from 20th July, all children were
asked to give an oral exam based on the lessons
of Rajyoga.
Top 10 best scoring children were given a
beautiful pen as a token of appreciation. All
children shown their interest in God and
Rajyoga education at such a tender age is not
only surprising but also inspiring. Here are
some of the photographs are attached herewith.

Basic Test for Computer Class Entry - (30-07-2015)
Knowledge is Might
Louis V. Gerstner, Jr., ex-chairman, IBM has
said that Computers are magnificent tools
for the realization of our dreams, but no
machine can replace the human spark of
spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.
Computer knowledge and proficiency now
have become the most important.
Digital India movement started by our honorable Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi is an
indicator of the need for computers knowledge. Keeping this in mind, we, at Divya Darshan Bhawan
thought to initiate computer education to the interested and eligible Divya Nagari children. They will
be taught computers practical operative knowledge daily from 7 P.M. to 8 P.M. immediately after daily
educational classes. To select the interested and bright students, a small but conceptual and intellectual
exam was designed by B.K. CA. Lalitbhai (Accounts Department, Mount Abu) and it was organized
on 30th July, 2015. The selected students will be given free education of computers at Divya Darshan
Bhawan under the inspirations of B.K. Ishitaben (In-Charge, Navrangpura centre). Brother Manish
Gohel has expressed his interest to serve as faculty for these classes.

Women Empowerment through Literacy Drive
(Every Monday to Friday)
There are many youths, elderly sisters and
mothers who are illiterate in the Divya Nagari
slum. These children who joined us for daily
education in Divya Nagari project when go
back to their home, they share their
experiences with lots of excitement. The
constant happiness and excitement inspired
their parents to learn basic education.
These women of Divya Nagari slum who joined us
from 18th June 2015 for basic education now started
experiencing confidence and developing a penchant
to learn and continue this process with tireless efforts
by BK Diptiben. B.K. Ishitaben, Centre In-charge,
Navragpura is also inspiring and motivating them.
Every day she realizes these women their original
identity and strengthen them. Some of them started
writing their name and even started reading.
We believe this wonderful transformation in
women of Divya Nagari locality will bring
tremendous change in their family as well.

Basic English Teaching for Women
(Every Monday to Friday)
English has now became the integral part of
education system. Divya Nagari Children
are learning English in school and also in
Divya Darshan Bhawan. They are also being
given the homework in all subject.
While doing homework when these children face
problem, they ask their sisters and parents
However, they left with no answer. This
incapability of Divya Nagari Women had been
rectified by the Basic English Education that is
being taught as a part of Divya Nagari project
activity.
Around 33 women and girls daily come to
Divya Darshan Bhawan from 2:30 to 3:30
P.M. for this education. Mrs. Hinaben
Vijaybhai Patel and B.K. Pinky ben are our
faculty for these classes. Their love-full
behaviour empowers these slum women. We
believe that these women will start adopting
English language more not different than
other language.
