ITC Classmate’s All Rounder Programme: Over 3 lakh students participate in first phase

Classmate believes that learning goes beyond academic knowledge, and it is important to have different ways for children to learn and help them grow in a holistic manner.

ITC Classmate has announced the completion of the first edition of the ‘Classmate All Rounder’ programme. The one-of-a-kind programme was aimed at holistic skill development in school students and nurturing them to become well-rounded individuals.

Classmate believes that learning goes beyond academic knowledge, and it is important to have different ways for children to learn and help them grow in a holistic manner. Driven by this philosophy, all offerings by Classmate are centred around making learning fun. The importance of holistic skill development is also emphasised in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which states that the aim of education should not only be cognitive development but also building character with an aim of instilling a creative and multidisciplinary curriculum through experiential learning.

ITC Classmate’s All Rounder Programme is aligned with the objectives of NEP and has been instituted in the form of a large-scale multi-layered inter-school competition. The aim of the programme is to encourage school children to learn and experiment with new skills and create a unique platform for them to showcase their talents.

Skill development is essential in the formative years of a child as it helps in shaping their personalities and accentuating their artistic and athletic sides. It also provides a strong foundation enabling a child to stay ahead of the curve whilst preparing them to overcome life challenges more effectively, boosting self-confidence and developing independent thinking.

Commenting on the occasion, Vikas Gupta, Divisional Chief Executive, ITC’s Education and Stationery Products Business, said – “ITC’s Education and Stationery Products Business, through its brand Classmate, is committed to the Government’s vision of building all-rounders for tomorrow’s world in sync with the National Education Policy. Being an all-rounder helps today’s kids prepare for the challenges of tomorrow, whilst leveraging the opportunities in a fast-evolving world. Preparing today’s generation for tomorrow’s world is the only sustainable solution to secure the future of our collective existence. This year’s Classmate Allrounder Programme, which saw large-scale spontaneous participation from 3 lakh children across 1000 schools, is one such effort by Classmate to hone multidimensional skills in children, making them future-ready”
