On 14th March 2016, the children of class I, accompanied by their teachers, went on an excursion to India Gate. Excitement was in the air as the children prepared to leave for the day. Before leaving, the children were given a brief about the monument.They were told that it was a memorial built in honour of Indian soldiers who had died in battle.
At the memorial, the children were shown the Amar Jawan Jyoti (the flame of immortal soldiers) which burns in a shrine under the arch of the India Gate. The children felt a sense of pride as they looked up to see the names of the scores of brave Indian soldiers inscribed on the walls. They were made immortal thus, fir their valiant sacrifice. The children were also shown the three flags, each signifying the three armed forces of independent India. Afterwards, we moved to the lawns surrounding India Gate and took a short break there. As were got up to leave later, each one of us, turned once more in awe and homage for the shrine. The teachers prompted the children to stand in a row and offer a smart salute in honour of these fearless men. Ms. Sonia Nayar.
