HOLIDAY HOMEWORK 2025-26
CLASS - X
 PRINCIPAL’S DESK
Dear Students,
Summer vacation is a much-awaited time for all of you – a season
of fun, relaxation, and renewal. It is also a wonderful opportunity
to grow in many ways beyond academics.
While you enjoy your holidays, I encourage you to take care of a
few important things:
• Help your parents with household work. Small
contributions make a big difference at home.
• Spend quality time with your grandparents. Listen to
their stories, learn from their experiences, and make beautiful
memories.
• Become more self-reliant. Start by washing your plate
after meals and taking care of your personal clothes. Little steps
towards independence build great character.
• Focus on your academics. Revise your lessons regularly
and complete your holiday homework sincerely. A little effort
every day will help you stay confident and ready for the next term.
Dear students, remember that holidays are not just a break from
school; they are a chance to become better, stronger, and wiser
individuals.
Wishing you all a safe, happy, and fruitful vacation!
Warm regards,
Jitinder Singh Hundal
Principal
St. Xavier’s High School, Bharni

DHAMTARI DISTRICT WATER CONSERVATION INITIATIVE
Parastarai village in Dhamtari district, Chhattisgarh, is a model for water conservation and has successfully tackled
groundwater depletion. The village's success stems from a combination of community-driven initiatives, innovative
farming practices, and a collective commitment to environmental stewardship.

Here's a more detailed look at their efforts:

access to dams.
 Community-Driven Solutions:
Parastarai implemented community-led water conservation measures, including sustainable
farming and reforestation.
 Crop Diversification:
The village encouraged farmers to switch from water-intensive paddy cultivation to less water-
consuming crops like pulses and oilseeds, leading to a significant reduction in water usage.
 Positive Impact:
 This shift resulted in improved groundwater levels, increased profitability for farmers, and reduced
electricity consumption, making agriculture more sustainable, according to the Times of India.
 Inspiring Others:
Parastarai's success has inspired neighboring villages to adopt similar water-saving measures,
showcasing the power of local action in addressing water scarcity.
