28th September 2019: 27 students and 4 teachers of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Chandigarh have set out on an extraordinary journey carrying the Gandhian message of satya, ahimsa and cleanliness. The troupe will cycle towards the historic city of Dandi on their journey onward on the 28th.
The Dandi March was one of the most important events in India's struggle for Independence and was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India led by the Father of the Nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Protesting against the British system of taxation of salt in India, Gandhiji walked 240 miles over a span of 24 days.
Honouring this commitment of Bapu to humanity and satyagraha, the Bhavan Chandigarh team will cycle from Dandi to Surat, carrying the message of peace, honesty and cleanliness. Senior principal Ms. Vineeta Arora and Vice Principal Ms. Suparna Bansal flagged off the first-of-its-kind event from the school premises Yesterday
As a part of the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Gandhiji, the school has organised yearlong programmes, with the objective of acquainting students with Gandhian philosophy and provide them an opportunity to delve on the deeper meaning of his doctrines.
The team shall arrive back in Chandigarh on October 1st after paying tribute to the Mahatma at the historical venue.
