So, was the occasion at NPS NORTH, Bengaluru also. As is customary, the teachers put up a very entertaining assembly for their dear students. It was a whole bouquet of songs, dance, skit and speeches.

Besides enlightening students about the significance of the day, there was a subtle message of sharing and caring conveyed through a mime too. The skit was a spoof on a classroom scenario, which had the young children laughing away hilariously.

The school principal Mrs.Devi S Nair, encouraged all children to read books about Pandit Nehru and the letters written by him to his daughter, Indira Gandhi, during his struggle as a freedom fighter.

The celebrations did not end here, the entire week had been dedicated to a collection drive of unused stationery which the students could drop into collection boxes, kept in each classroom. This would then be donated to underprivileged schools as a token of love from the students of NPS-NORTH. The students contributed whole-heartedly and it was encouraging to see the collection drive turn into a raging success. This was a small but significant attempt to support Chacha Nehru’s vision of modern Indiaand continue his legacy of education for children.

The entire day was spent with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm, enveloping the campus with warmth, love, affection and honouring childhood!!
