An awareness rally based on the theme ‘Sankalp se Siddhi’ was organized by the students of classes X and XI on Gandhi Jayanti. The Students led by the Principal and Staff members carried placards and marched all across the town to sensitize people on the need to shun off the prevailing evil from the minds of the people. Pure and elevated thoughts alone can lead us to a transformed and a clean society. The students also performed a street play apprising people with the existing social evil. Through their play they delivered a message that the easiest way to serve the nation in the present times is to enable the wandering intellect of all souls to focus, through a concentration of elevated thoughts. A pledge was also taken in the presence of the local people to sweep off all the dirt both from our minds and surroundings that hinders our personal as well as the growth of the nation. It has aptly said, “Humanity, in its current state of turmoil, needs more of pure thought, communication that is uplifting and not harmful, and righteous conduct.
