DC urges schools, teachers, and parents to actively support the program for nurturing creativity in students
The District Administration, Moga has launched Mission Akharkari in collaboration with the District School Education Office. The initiative aims to promote the art of calligraphy in schools and encourage students to explore handwriting as an art form.
Sharing details, Deputy Commissioner Mr. Sagar Setia said that in today’s digital age, handwritten expression is slowly fading. Through Mission Akharkari, students will learn the basics of calligraphy, improve their handwriting, and gain an appreciation for traditional scripts. This will help them connect with cultural heritage while also developing creativity.
“The beauty of handwriting reflects discipline, patience, and focus,” said the DC, adding that the initiative will not only improve writing skills but also instill confidence in students. “This program will play a role in reviving the forgotten charm of handwritten expression in classrooms.”
The program focuses on four main goals – improving handwriting, teaching the basics of calligraphy, preserving traditional scripts, and providing a platform for students to express creativity through artistic lettering.Mr. Setia further said that calligraphy practice will also help students build fine motor skills, patience, and attention to detail.
These qualities not only improve artistic ability but also contribute to personal and academic growth.He informed that beautiful handwriting competitions have been organized for government and private school students and teachers at center, block, and district levels. “In the future, this project will continue as a pilot project in Moga every six months,” he added.
On this occasion, the winning children and teachers were also honored. The District Administration has invited schools, teachers, and parents to support this program and make calligraphy an integral part of the learning process for children in Moga.
