We are light. You are light. I am light. We are all sitting, together in a circle around the light that fuels us all. The longer we are away from this light, the closer we get to darkness.

The Delhi Peace Project is a unique attempt to unite students and professionals to join hands in a series of events to achieve the special and common goal of peace. This attainment is no global conference or ceasefire but rather a means to stop and reflect on what is more important our inner peace.
Peace is the remedy that children in todays world so desperately need. With exposure to violent video games, television, peer pressure and substance abuse, the need of the hour is to adopt an approach that helps them discern and act with calm, no matter what the external conflicts are.
[gallery link="file"]The project aims at delivering a practical and workable means of implementing peace at an individual level, especially for students. The idea is to involve the youth to be a part of Delhis message of peace as they holistically benefit from the events organised by Imbroglio Productions and supported by The World Peace Flame, Netherland.
This initiatives target group was basically students of classes 7-8 wherein the students used interactive methods and techniques such as poetry competitions, resource collection drives, flash mobs, dance performances, musical shows etc., to create awareness about the importance of peace. These events culminated in a grand finale at Birla Vidya Niketan on 16th October, 2015. This ceremony was attended by 7 students from class X-C along with Ms Charu Bhatnagar.
The show commenced with the lighting of the World Peace Flame, followed by an extravagant music and dance show. Thereafter, eminent dignitaries including Prof. Dinesh Singh, Bishop Mar Garnivas ( Bishop of Gurgoan), Brahmakumari Dadi Sundari amongst others, addressed the audience. Each speaker emphasised the importance of peace for ones soul and for a positive outlook to life. The speeches were followed by a symbolic diya lighting ritual by Manav Arora and Saumya Chaddha of our School and students from other schools, to pledge their support to the promotion of peace.
The ceremony concluded on a spiritual note with the rendition of a hymn. The event drew to a close with the realisation that we all, along with thousands of other children, teachers and parents, have a special duty to uphold, that is, to promote peace in the land which gave birth to the biggest peace-keepers down the ages- Gautam Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi.
I would like to conclude by quoting Bishop Mar Garnivas , No peace mission in the world can ever succeed until and unless it succeeds in a country called India And we students believe this success shall no doubt find its roots at our School!
