Udgam School Observes Unity Day

Ahmedabad, November 11, 2014 (Newswire.com) -  Udgam School for Children actively participated in the Ekta Diwas celebrations held at Maharaja Agrasen Vidyalaya as per CBSE guidelines. Later on more activities were organised for the other students who had missed the celebrations owing to Diwali break.

India is a land of diversity and our rich colourful culture is a testimony to the different kinds of people we have in our motherland. Sardar Patel, the iron man of India, was instrumental in bringing India together as one despite all the differences. He united the smaller princely states into one to make the system more organised and work towards a common goal, progress. This did wonders to the newly independent country and administration and governance became easier and more effective. So his birth anniversary on 31st of October is very aptly celebrated as Rashtriya Ekta Divas.

In spite of the ongoing Diwali break 25 students from the school became a part of celebration for Unity.The energetic children were involved in several activities like Debate, Jingle Making, Poster Making, Collage making, Indigeneous Sports, Oath Taking Ceremony, Run for Unity, etc. It was a collaborative effort to bring students of different schools together on the same platform and create the feeling of oneness among them through activities. Keeping the feeling of ‘my school’ aside the children participated in the common ground with a lot of enthusiasm. The hard work put in by the host school Maharaja Agrasen Vidyalaya was commendable as the purpose of the whole event ‘instilling unity’ was solved.

On the birth anniversary of the Iron Man of India, Udgam School had participated in the celebrations at Maharaja Agrasen Vidyalaya with full enthusiasm but numbers were limited as Diwali vacation was going on. So later on activities were held for the students who could not be a part of the celebrations held earlier.

The first event was Run for Unity which the children participated in with gusto and this was followed by a variety of other events which included oath taking for unity, poster making, collage activity and group songs. Children had a grand day of one activity after the other and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The message of unity was spread among all students through the activities. The camaraderie that existed among the students was testimony to the feeling of unity among them. After all don't we pride ourselves as being the most united nation amidst so many diversities? Udgam stands for Unity! Together we win...
