HAPPY GANDHI JAYANTI!!
Gandhi Jayanti, celebrated on October 2, marks the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation. This day is observed across the country to honor his principles of truth, non-violence, and his role in India's independence movement. Schools, government institutions, and communities organize various events, including prayer meetings, art exhibitions, and essay competitions focusing on Gandhi’s philosophies. In New Delhi, dignitaries, including the Prime Minister and the President, visit Raj Ghat, Gandhi’s memorial, to pay homage by offering flowers and prayers.
Throughout the day, people remember Gandhi's values of simplicity, unity, and peace, which remain relevant in modern times. It's a reminder of how non-violent resistance can lead to monumental change, a lesson deeply ingrained in the fabric of India's democratic principles.
