Unleashing Creativity Through Stone Carving
At Dikshant, students immerse themselves in the timeless art of stone carving, transforming raw stone into beautiful works of art. Guided by skilled instructors, they learn the techniques and craftsmanship needed to shape and detail their creations. This hands-on experience fosters artistic expression while enhancing patience, precision, and perseverance. Through this ancient craft, our students discover the joy of bringing their imaginative visions to life, one chisel stroke at a time.
In metal work activity students are taught the design process for crafting metal components and sculptures. They learn to select materials and measure them using the precision equipment before gaining hands-on experience operating metal working tools. Safety rules are strongly emphasised, including the use of safety equipment such as goggles or a face shield.
The joy in using one’s own hands to create something beautiful out of waste material is incomparable. A large number of students work on paper mache. They create paper mache themselves by recycling old waste paper, old cloth and blades of glass through a ‘beater’ machine and ‘calendar machine’. They then create different models and art objects using the paper mache they have made themselves. These paper mache objects are then enhanced by various means like oil painting. The experience and joy of utilising waste material to create something useful helps students understand and appreciate the simplicity and beauty of nature.

They work along with their senior fellow member and are given formal lessons of photography. Thus they pick up and develop an eye for photography and learn to capture light and shadow. Every year the department puts up an exhibition on the Founder’s Day. Students of the department go for outings and work on given projects. Thus in addition to photography, they also learn about the people and their lifestyle in villages. The basic objective of these outings is to make the students aware of the outer world and nature giving them a break from their routine life.
