4. ‘Innovation is a new idea, device or process… It is something ‘new’
or ‘different’ introduced… It is a new way of doing something to
make new changes… It refers to the use of a better and as a
result novel idea or method… Thus is a notion of doing something
different rather than doing the same thing better. It involves
deliberate application of information, imagination and initiative in
deriving greater or different values from resources and includes
all process by which new ideas are generated and converted into
new products…
5. This is a collection of the life sketch and works of all the poets
and writers of standard VIII. This is not simply a collection…but
through this I hope to introduce these personals to the students
and convey the message that these are the ones who have gone
deep into their self- found the treasures of literature and come
out with ignited minds… Thus they made the symphony of
literature be going on…in their life…and in their society.
6. Apart from the usual way of presenting them in a chart paper I have
used the technological aid to make it more innovative and attractive. I
believe it will surely help the students to explore more knowledge… at
the same time it will connect them to the world of literature!!!
Technically ‘innovation’ is defined as “introducing something new…” and “to
present something in a creative way…” It is an innovative work of
introducing the writers and poets of standard VIII in a creative way.
9. Down through the centuries the
mighty spark of fire instilled by
God in the minds of human has
been incarnating in various literary
forms. This Divine spark of
literature is passed on to all in
generation to generation. People
have nurtured it in different ways,
which led to a great legacy of
literature of the world today. The
same fire that ignited the first man
still inspires and ignites the
creativity of all………
The Symphony goes on…….!!!
10. Literature is like the
living water from
heaven received in our
open palms by every
individual, it becomes
more creative depends
on the flavour added by
the receiver’s hands…..
11. As we cannot just hold
the water in our hands
for long, so also the
divine creativity in us
cannot be buried with
us for long, but it flows
out from us to
others…..
12. Here are some who kept this fire ignited
and passed it on to others………….
