Report on Gandhiji and Shastriji’s Jayanti -2024

“Strength does not come from winning. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”

Gandhi Jayanti is a day for remembrance of the values that Mahatma Gandhi represented truth, non-violence, simplicity, and self-reliance. His idea of passive resistance and belief in the strength of truth and non-violence-Ahimsa are as relevant to the present times. Conflicts and violence appear to characterize human affairs in much of the world. His message of universal peace and tolerance has been recognized worldwide. That is why, in 2007, the United Nations declared that October 2 would be considered as the International Day of Non-Violence.

Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second Prime Minister of India, is fondly remembered for his simplicity, humility, and dedication to the nation. His contribution to India, especially during critical times like the Indo-Pak War of 1965, and his famous slogan “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan” still resonate in the hearts of millions. Every year, his birth anniversary is celebrated across the country to honour his legacy and leadership.

On the 2nd October, India celebrates not one but two great leaders who left an indelible mark on the nation’s history. While the world observes Gandhi Jayanti on this day. It is also an occasion to commemorate the birth anniversary of another remarkable leader, Lal Bahadur Shastri.
