The programme began with Headmistress Smita Biwalkar garlanding the portraits of both leaders and offering a floral tribute to their memory. After this, Ms. Khushi Kapadia, teacher, addressed the students. She spoke warmly about Gandhiji’s belief in truth and non-violence and his leadership in the freedom struggle, as well as Shastri ji’s humility, integrity, and his immortal slogan ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.’ Her words inspired students to live by the values of simplicity, service, and sacrifice.
