MY THOUGHTS ON CHILDREN’S DAY
The Unicef statistics
reveal their are half a billion children in India. Though a lot needs to be
done to ensure the survival, growth and development of this asset: its
children.
This children’s day my
heart goes out to a part of this population that has succumb to pressure the
pressure of child labour.
Why do we
celebrate this day ? Yes , we do pay homage to a great leader whose love for
children is immense , but as a nation out true homage to this great man would
be to built a country that values, cares and support its children. we need to
provide them with real education, avenues for growth, proper nutrition &
low cost health care facilities.
Then indeed
we would be celebrating children’s day in its true spirit.
spending the
last three decades in the field of education, i have realise untapped potential
that lies in this asset. providing children education implies making the next
generation competent and innovative enough
to face the
challenges of highly complex world.
so lets
pledge to provide every child with a smile, reach out and make a difference to
the lives of this greatest asset.
In the words
of his holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar “ lets unleash a world of intention, attention
and manifestation”. If we pay attention to a good intention, the cosmos will
manifest it.
Wishing all
my students and children at large a very
happy children’s day.
