Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated by the nation to commemorate the birth anniversary of the Father of our nation, Mahatama Gandhi. The primary section of our School also took it upon itself to pay homage to this noble soul at a special assembly on 30th September, 2016.
The highlight of the assembly were anecdotes from Gandhijis life as a skit by the students of class VA. The skit depicted our freedom struggle and the role Gandhiji played to help us achieve our prized freedom. This was, particularly, useful for our young audience who are only slowly becoming aware of the acute hardships our forefathers faced as they struggled to free our motherland. The exercise gave the children an insight into the life and times of Gandhiji and encouraged them to think about the values of sacrifice and freedom.

Following this, the children enacted a few important incidents from his life such as the work done by him for Indians in South Africa, the Swadeshi and Quit India Movements, etc. The young audience was also told about the Dandi March, about the drive to motivate people to only wear homespun cotton clothes, and about Bapu's belief that one must lead a simple but noble life.The entire auditorium resonated with the slogans, Do or Die, Angrezon Bharat Chodo, Karo Ya Maro used by Gandhi and other freedom fighters during those times. The play concluded with another beautiful song Bande me tha dum, Vande Mataram which invoked the spirit of the unforgettable sacrifice.
Ms. Vandana Tewari.
