NiBS entered into a collaborative partnership with Digantar, an alternative school near Jaipur based on our similar philosophy and vision, our commitment to the community and our teaching approach in the class. All students from Ankur to Class XII planned and worked hard on specific Class projects for their friends in Digantar to help them experience the joy of learning and sharing, of caring and belonging and receiving and giving. 

Our Project ‘A Breath of Fresh Air’ which was launched on 14th November, 2017 came into being as a result of the worst smog in Delhi for the last two decades.

The decline in the air quality was so severe and hazardous that the Indian Medical Association had to declare a public health emergency and requested schools to shut down. Through this SEWA project we plan to take small but strong action oriented steps to reclaim our fundamental right to clean air for our children and our community.

The SEWA project focused on creating awareness of the harmful effects of single use plastic goods and what could be done to reduce their usage. Ankur and Pallav: took up the task of converting ‘Trash to Treasure’

-classes one and two shared their learnings on the theme in their societies and playschools in Dwarka, and encouraged others to take the pledge to reduce the use of single use of plastic objects. III and IV created vertical gardens and made Eco bricks. The senior school students conducted a school audit and have worked on some well-defined norms for the School in an effort to reduce our plastic footprint and also reached out to other schools and organizations with a view to encouraging e - waste segregation and disposal.

The world changed for all of us and isolated in our homes, we needed to reach out, connect and work towards a better future. It is the sheer courage and power of our SMILE flock’s collaborative journey that inspired us to dream of and design the ‘Be the Change’ inter-school projects. It was our firm belief that as our schools partnered with others across latitudes and longitudes, from New Delhi to Chennai, Bareilly, Kottayam, Nadakkavu, Lucknow, Ladakh, Bangalore and Ajman, and worked together in UNITY, we were able to unleash in full measure, the miraculous Power of CommUNITY.

 A community art project in collaboration with DMRC and St+art India Foundation under the guidance of renowned Warli artists, the Vayeda Brothers. The project aimed at spreading awareness about how public art can make a powerful statement for our community, foster community pride and a sense of belonging and at the same time enhance the quality of life for its residents and visitors. 

Through this project we reached out to the community to create better and beautiful spaces in our neighbourhood and are working towards painting murals at the Dwarka Sector 14 metro station.
