Assam: Schools To Remain Open On Gandhi Jayanti
In a bid to keep the young generation connected with the values of Mahatma Gandhi, the Government of Assam has decided to observe the day in all schools throughout the state under the Department of School Education.
Hence, on the occasion of International Day of Non-Violence on October 2, all government schools in the state shall remain open to organise programmes/activities on that day “to remind students the culture of inclusive oneness and to involve all stakeholders concerned,” a notification by the Department of School Education stated.
A “Non-Violence Pledge” is also to be administered in all schools on that day, it further stated.
