The birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri was celebrated at Children’s Academy Senior Secondary School with great pomp and circumstance. Mahatma Gandhi, more lovingly known as Bapu by all Indians, is internationally acknowledged for his doctrine of non-violence that led India to its glorious freedom. If we talk about Lal Bahadur Shastri, he is known for his simplicity, honesty, and nobility. He was not only a prominent political leader but also a dedicated freedom fighter who coined the famous slogan “Jai Jawan Jai Kisan.”
Shastri’s leadership was also instrumental in the 1965 Indo-Pak war, the Tashkent Agreement, and the Green Revolution. Every year on October 2, we celebrate the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. To honor this day, the students and teachers of Children’s Academy organized a special assembly on October 2, 2023, to commemorate the Mahatma’s life and teachings. The students and teachers sang Gandhi’s favorite bhajan, “Vaishnav Janto,” with full exuberance. Gandhian ideals were depicted through speeches by the teachers and students. All our students were imbued with Gandhian values and thoughts and vowed to become better citizens of India and the world. On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, a movie was shown to the children. During the program all the teachers and students were very blissful.
