On October 2nd, 2024, Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya NEEPCO Bokuloni celebrated Gandhi Jayanti and the birth anniversary of Lal Bahadur Shastri with two remarkable events: the "Go As You Like" competition for Classes IX and X, and a Swachhata Abhiyan led by the teachers.
The Go As You Like competition revolved around the
theme Satyamev Jayate - Importance of Truthfulness in Our Life.
Students enthusiastically participated by dressing up as their favorite Freedom
Fighters and delivering one-minute speeches explaining their attire and the
importance of their chosen leader. The event aimed to instill the values of
truthfulness and integrity in young minds, as championed by Mahatma Gandhi and
other great leaders. The creativity and dedication shown by the students
brought to life the inspiring stories of India's Freedom Fighters.
Participation was mandatory for all students, including
those engaged in sports, and the marks obtained in this competition will
contribute to their Social Science Internal Assessment. The event provided a
wonderful opportunity for students to delve into the history of India's freedom
movement while reflecting on the significance of truth and honesty in today’s
society.
In addition to the competition, the teachers of VKV NEEPCO
Bokuloni actively participated in a Swachhata Abhiyan on the occasion
of Gandhi and Shastri Jayanti. The cleanliness drive was aimed at honoring
Mahatma Gandhi's vision of cleanliness and Lal Bahadur Shastri's dedication to
simplicity and service. The teachers’ involvement underscored the school’s
commitment to promoting a clean and healthy environment, setting an example for
the students to follow.
