We fondly remember  Mahatma Gandhi- Bapu, as a leader of his people, unsupported by any outward authority and a politician whose success rested not upon craft or mastery of technical devices, but simply on the convincing power of wisdom and humanity. He was armed with resolve and inflexible consistency and devoted all his strength uplifting his people.

As we celebrate  the 150th birth anniversary of the Mahatma- Our father of the nation, let recollect what Gandhiji once said:  “SANITATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN INDEPENDENCE”

He made cleanliness and sanitation an integral part of the Gandhian way of living. He dreamt total sanitation for all. As a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhiji on his 150th birth anniversary, a beautiful school assembly was conducted.   On this occasion, prizes for Swachhta Pakhwada Competitions & National- State sports Championship were given by the school principal.
