Every year our school has been organizing a seminar on human
values, for the schools in Kancheepuram district. The main
objective of the seminar is to provide an occasion for the
teachers and the students to contemplate on the importance of
values in human life. The Seminar also ventures to encourage team
work by the teachers and the students of classes VIII to X and to
prescribe new solutions for the modern ills in the light of values
of Sanadhana Dharma.
The participating schools form a team of five students from
classes VIII, IX and X. The team will work together under the
guidance of a teacher and prepare a paper on the prescribed topic
and forward it to the school. A maximum of ten papers will be
selected for the presentation. Each school will be allotted 30 min
out of which 20 min will be for paper presentation using power
point, followed by 10 min of question answer session.

main theme. This is the seventh seminar. The topic for the seminar
