A celebration in the form of special assemblies is an effort to sensitize students towards living in harmony in a diverse society. They are taught to learn to use their thinking ability and skills to work for a safe and better world and to live in harmony with their fellow beings.

The skit presented by the children communicated the quintessential message that every hand and every bit counts in helping to realise the vision of ‘Swachh Bharat’.
