Embracing the Legacies of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri.

To commemorate the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur  Shastri the students of S.Y.D.El.Ed. prepared an excellent program that was  meticulously designed to elucidate the enduring principles of these two iconic  historical figures. The primary theme of the program reverberated with the  message: "The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will  know peace." This profound theme, encapsulated the notion that love transcends  the charm of power and control. It conveyed the idea that when individuals  prioritize love and compassion towards others over personal interests and the  pursuit of power, global harmony and serenity can be realized. 

To mark this significant occasion, the students presented an array of captivating  performances, including a soul-stirring musical performance, exuberant dances,  emotional mime, thought-provoking skits, and an insightful puppet show. The  officiating Principal, Dr. Sr. Delia Antao, graced the occasion and gave a  special address, emphasizing the importance of learning from the mistakes of  the past delving into the annals of history and using that knowledge to improve  the present, she also focused on some of the qualities of the Mahatma Gandhi  for us to emulate. 

The celebration also featured the exhibition of history assignments, meticulously crafted by the students of S.Y. D.El.E.d. presented through a series  of compelling videos and a gallery showcasing the history-related models. 

Furthermore, a millet cooking competition (without fire) was incorporated  within the programme to also celebrate the 'International Year of Millets,' with  the overarching goal of fostering awareness of our ‘health in our hands’ and for  promoting an increased production and consumption of millets. The students  exhibited remarkable creativity and ingenuity in the preparation of dishes,  including delicious ragi ladoos, refreshing ragi milkshakes, and nutritious millet  salads. 

The program reached its culmination with a presentation featuring some profound Gandhian quotes and messages, artfully curated by the class  representative, Miss Annissa Barreto, followed by a vote of thanks delivered by  Miss Jewel D'Souza. This remarkable program was executed under the guidance  of the History Methodology lecturer, Mrs. Debbie Fernandes.
