“Your beliefs become your thoughts,

Your thoughts become your words,

Your words become your actions,

Your actions become your habits,

Your habits become your values,

Your values become your destiny.”

― Gandhi

 

In India Martyrs' Day/ Shaheed Diwas is observed on 30th January, the Death Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi- the Father of the Nation. It is also a day to salute the martyrdom of soldiers who lost their lives defending the sovereignty of the nation.

In India, there are six days declared as Martyrs’ Day (at national level also known as Shaheedi Diwas). They are named in honour of those who are recognized as martyrs as they sacrificed their lives for the nation.

30^th January is the date observed as Martyrs’ Day at national level. The date marks the assassination of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in 1948. On Martyrs’ Day the President, the Vice President, the Prime Minister, the Defence Minister of India and the three Defence Forces Chiefs gather at Raj Ghat memorial and pay homage to the Father of the Nation and all other martyrs, who sacrificed their blood for the honour of the country.

 Martyrs' Day/ Shaheed Diwas was observed by the school on 30^th January in a special assembly presented by Class-8 students.

Assembly started by paying floral homage to Mahatma Gandhi, followed by Word of the Day, Thought for the Day, News, Quiz based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi and Speech based on Gandhiji's life and his teachings, followed by his favourite prayer song- 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram..' which was sung by the whole school.

The inspirational thoughts of Gandhiji reverberated in the assembly when a Power Point Presentation was shown to the students in the assembly. A short movie on Gandhiji was also shown to make the young minds know the great works & philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi.

The School Principal motivated the students to learn from his life to go a long way in shaping their character and future. She kindled the spirit of pride and gallantry among them.

The management, staff & students paid 2 minutes silent tribute to the Father of the Nation at 11.00 am.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”

― Mahatma Gandhi
