Some initiatives may be small in scale and yet create a profound impact. The Prathmik Shala Kamaliphaliya, in Silvassa, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, provides one such example.

This Gujarati-medium government school, established in 1994 and home to 85 students and five teachers, began implementing the Mulyavardhan 3.0 programme in June 2025. The goal was simple yet powerful: to help children discover and practise core values through everyday activities.

Class teacher Smt. Hemlata Solanki introduced the Mulyavardhan “Create Your Classroom Rules” activity to her 5th-grade students. Instead of prescribing the rules, she asked them to draft their own. The next day, children returned with handwritten lists—some with three rules, some with six—and together, through open discussion, they created a shared set of classroom rules.

The rules were simple: Maintain discipline, keep the classroom clean, follow the teacher’s guidance, help friends, read regularly, and participate in school activities. And because these rules were made by the children themselves, they followed them with pride. A visible shift began—greater discipline, better participation, and a stronger sense of responsibility.

Then came a heartwarming twist. One student, Sameer, asked, “Madam, just like we made rules for our class, can we make rules for our home too?”

Inspired, thirteen children created “Home Rules” with their parents—from waking up early and helping with household chores to speaking the truth and respecting elders. Some displayed the rules on the walls of their homes, and one child, Akhil, placed them proudly on the refrigerator.

Parents soon noticed positive changes. “Our child reminds us to follow the rules too,” Akhil’s father shared with joy.

For Smt. Hemlata, Akhil’s class teacher, the transformation was deeply fulfilling: “When children create rules, they follow them. Our class has truly changed.”
