The relevance of Mahatma Gandhi, his principles, and his teachings were brought to life in a wonderful presentation of the annual day of class III.

The show, aptly titled Gandhi- Kal Bhi Aaj Bhi, brought to the fore the need for Gandhiji’s tenets of simple living and high thinking, even in todays day and age.

The depiction of these ideas were dramatised in the form of enactment, song and dance. The enthusiastic portrayals by the children of class III extended a vibrant and exuberant atmosphere over the day. The children understood completely what they were speaking about, and enjoyed themselves while doing so! As grandparents and parents reminisced, they were also reminded of the need to follow Gandhiji’s ideology, moreso in our trying times and circumstances.
