No Bag Day in Schools Timeline, Schedule, Themes, Activates 2022-23 No School Bag Day
National Educational Policy (2020) suggested that there should be an
interconnection between curricular and co-curricular areas. Hence, school
should provide multiple opportunities to students to train them in enhancing
their creativity and emotional wellbeing. An integrated plot form of arts,
crafts and play is necessary for children to learn with joy. For this purpose,
No Bag Day has been introduced for classes 1 and 2. As the name suggests,
during the No Bag days, children do not get their bags to schools and do not
engage in subject-specific academic activities. The First and Third Saturdays
in the month are dedicated to nurture the other (Non-academic / Co-curricular)
aspects of child growth and make learning more fun and holistic. The focus
areas on these Saturdays will be on life skills education, English language
skills enhancement, physical activities, arts and crafts. GSR INFO –
