Samyam

Samyam 2023

Madhuram Narayanan Centre introduced a new event SAMYAM in 2013. Every year this event is being celebrated in July. This year it was celebrated on 22nd July 2023. This project was conceived to bring the Past students, Present and the new entrants together into the Centre during the year. The present students and the new entrants find motivation in coming together with the past students and interacting with them. The past students find guidance and reassurance in meeting the teachers.

Samyam creates a platform by bringing all the children along with parents together for :

  • Healthy interaction to share the ideas and views for further development of the children
  • Maintain continuity with Madhuram Narayanan Centre for guidance and counselling
  • Motivating new parents to face the challenges in bringing up and training the children

In keeping with the tradition of inviting parents of alumni as Chief Guest, this year we had invited Mrs. B Senthamilselvi, Founder Principal of Kumaran Special School in Ennore. She is mother to two special children who were alumni of MNC. While addressing the gathering she mentioned that MNC is like my mother’s house and when I brought my children here it was a two hour travel from my house and I found it very difficult. But thanks to MNC teachers and management who went out of their way to help me and my sons that I gathered enough courage to do a diploma in special education and my post graduation too. My centre now has 45 children who train for different vocations. She highlighted that parental involvement is crucial in every aspect of the child’s training right from partnering with the special educator in the Individualized Education Plan to implementing the training of the skills at home.

The cultural show by the children was very well received. Birth to 4 years children presented an action song on Vegetables, while the children 4 to 6 years presented a story on the Lion and mouse. “Kuttralathu Malaiyele” was a small skit presented by the alumni on the merry life of monkeys on the mountains. The parents presented a concluding dance which was a well appreciated by all.

The panel discussion among the parents focussed on the difficulties of special parents and remedies for the same. The AVMVK Academy which runs the Diploma in Early Childhood Special Education took the opportunity to present the diplomas to their students who had passed out in the academic year 2022-2023.

The function came to end with the National anthem and light refreshments.
