Government College for Women, Bhagwati Nagar, Jammu, commemorated Gandhi Jayanti by organising a series of activities on the theme “Gandhian Philosophy in Today’s World.” The programme was organised through the collaborative efforts of the NSS Unit Veerangna, Department of Political Science, and Viksit Bharat–Shiksh*t Bharat, with the objective of acquainting students with the enduring relevance of the ideals and principles advocated by Mahatma Gandhi.
The programme commenced with a floral tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, paying homage to his enduring legacy of truth, non-violence, peace and social responsibility. Addressing the gathering, Principal Dr. Shalini Sharma highlighted the continuing relevance of Gandhian values in contemporary society and urged students to imbibe the principles of truth, non-violence, cleanliness, tolerance and service to humanity in their daily lives. She emphasised that the youth have an important role in building a responsible, peaceful and progressive nation.
A symposium on “Gandhian Philosophy in Today’s World” provided students a platform to express their views on the relevance of Gandhian ideals in addressing present-day social challenges. A poster-making activity showcased students’ creativity and understanding of themes such as peace, non-violence, cleanliness, equality and national unity. A singing rendition further enriched the programme with messages of peace, harmony and patriotism.
The programme also connected Gandhian philosophy with the vision of Viksit Bharat, highlighting the importance of ethical values, social responsibility and active citizenship in nation-building.
Certificates of participation were distributed among the students in recognition of their enthusiastic involvement. The programme concluded with a reaffirmation of the commitment to uphold and promote Gandhian ideals through responsible citizenship, social service and community engagement.
