On 29th October 2023, BVM Global School @ Bengaluru hosted the Arogyave Bhagya – Mini Walkathon in the Akshay Nagar area. The program was to inspire parents to spend quality time with their children and embrace physical fitness. The overwhelming response reiterated the fact that familial bonds need more time together.
“Arogyave Bhagya”, which literally means “Health is Wealth” in Kannada was chosen in view of the upcoming Kannada Rajyotsava that can be dedicated to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The participants and conductors were dressed in yellow and red to reflect the same.
The chief guest, Mr Sumit Chadha – Scrum Master and an enthusiastic marathon runner, uplifted the tempo of the participants with his energetic words and vast knowledge about running. The event had two formats – the 2km and the 4km walkathon. Teachers and parent volunteers are encouraged actively by holding placards consisting of inspirational quotes.
At the finishing line, teachers welcomed everyone with cheerful claps and congratulated us for participating with family. Certificates and goodie bags with light refreshments were presented to all rejuvenating the body and mind.
Family photos were taken to capture the joy and pride in every face and genuine feedback of the child and the parent regarding the novel experience was recorded instantly. Overall, it indeed was a great initiative taken by our school that helped in extending parent–child bond to the next level.
I hope to continue the walk with family and generally nudge all my friends to work on their health as well as develop family relationships further. My sincere gratitude to the school management for providing this unique opportunity.
