Gandhi in me

Following the actions and theory of Gandhiji, AGSN directed an action ‘Gandhi in Me’ for students and teachers on October 1, 2019. They were solicited to think of one trait of Mahatma Gandhi that they find within themselves and write it on a coloured paper butterfly and stick it on the soft board. This made them read about Gandhiji’s life and also introspect their own ethics. All the students happily engaged in the activity, writing about the Gandhi within. The day ended with the soft board being beautifully decorated with butterflies students had made so lovingly.
