NATIONAL UNITY DAY - RUN FOR UNITY / राष्ट्रीय एकता दिवस - रन फॉर यूनिटी
Dear Students, “Manpower without unity is not a strength until it is harmonized and united properly, then it becomes a spiritual power” - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is observed as National Unity Day or Rashtriya Ekta Diwas across India on 31 October every year. Principal Shri B.Venkanna, AECS-2, Mumbai flagged off the celebrations with a ‘Run for Unity’ by our students and teachers around the Anushaktinagar residential colony spreading the message of unity. Teachers and students took the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas pledge to withstand the greatest threat to the country's security, integrity, and stability. Principal Sir communicated to the students to appreciate the value of synergic effort rather than individual effort so that students return to society as ambassadors of unity, peace and safety. Shri. V P Varghese delivered a speech on the life, history and the role of Sardar Vallabhai Patel in the freedom struggle to establish a harmonious society and the importance of celebrating the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas. Though short, yet significant programme evoked the spirit of “Ekta” amongst all.
