-

Lucknow, 1 October : City Montessori School celebrated Gandhi Jayanti in a big way with a plethora of educational-cultural items organized here today on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti at CMS Gomti Nagar Extension Campus auditorium. Singing the favourite bhajans of Bapu and resolving to follow in his footsteps to make India a great nation and to realize his dreams of making the earth a better place, they created an atmosphere of reverence and harmony fit for the auspicious occasion. The programme was set into motion with the lighting of the lamp ceremony by the Chief Guest, Mr Pravin Kumar, Editor, Times of India and garlanding of the portrait of Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Addressing the august gathering of teachers gathered here, the Chief Guest, Mr Pravin Kumar said that the relevance of the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi today can be gauged from the fact that the present government is successfully running two significant programmes in society, the Make in India Programme and the Swachh Bharat Campaign and both these are inspired by Gandhian philosophy. He was extremely overjoyed to see that CMS is following the teachings of Gandhi and spreading them in all corners of the world. This is of utmost importance in the present times, he said.

            Renowned educationist and CMS Founder, Dr Jagdish Gandhi said on this occasion that the ideals of truth, ahimsa(non-violence)  and self-sacrifice preached by Mahatma Gandhi are the only way to bring about unity, peace and justice in the world. Global problems can be solved only through World Unity and World Peace. Now the time has come to give a concrete shape to the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi and make his dreams come true. The gathering was also addressed by the CMS President and Managing Director, Prof. Geeta Gandhi Kingdon. She said that Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings are just as relevant today as they were earlier and will remain so in years to come. CMS Founder-Director,Dr (Mrs) Bharti Gandhi delivered the Vote of Thanks at the end of the function. 

            Earlier, the programme began with a wonderful rendition of 'Vande Mataram' and 'School Prayer'. CMS teachers presented a mock World Parliament based upon the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi which was much appreciated. The highlights of the function were a prayer dance, quawalli 'apne  maa-baap ka dil na dukha', skits on Clean India namely 'Yug Purush' etc, which mesmerized the audience and added a distinct flavour of prayer and reverence on this auspicious occasion. Besides this, short films like ‘Mehnat karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti’ and 'Jaisa sochoge vaise ban jaoge’ as well as the favourite bhajans of Bapu viz. ‘Raghupati raghav raja ram’ and Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye’ made the atmosphere musical and spiritual, drawing huge applause and thunderous clapping from the joyous crowd of viewers and listeners.

            Chief Public Relations Officer of City Montessori School, Mr Hari Om Sharma informed that around 3000 teachers and staff members of CMS clad in white khadi clothes and singing Bapu’s favourite bhajans took out an Ahimsa March from Maqdoompur Police chowki to CMS Gomti Nagar Extension Auditorium early this morning with a determined resolve to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of creating a world of peace, love unity and non-violence writ large on their eager faces. The Ahimsa March was led by the CMS Founders, Dr Jagdish Gandhi and Dr Bharti Gandhi and the CMS President, Prof. Geeta Gandhi Kingdon as well as the Principals of various CMS Campuses.
