Educational Visit-Gandhi Smriti

The first school trip for this session was organised on 21 April 2017 to Gandhi Smriti. It was a very educative and enjoyable visit where we learnt many facts about Mahatma Gandhi. The volunteers guided us well.The national memorial honours the virtues of truth, non-violence, unity and equality. We saw many cherished memories of the last days of the Father of the Nation. The tour commenced with a visit to ‘Martyr’s Column’, where Gandhiji was assassinated. There were footprints made of stone, signifying the steps of the Father of the Nation in his last moments. Next, we saw the room, where Gandhiji lived in his last days, with some of his personal belongings and inspirational quotes on display. The place had beautiful lawns with pillars of quotations which are a source of pride and inspiration for all.The best part was a tour of the museum. We were first shown a short presentation of the fateful, tragic day when Gandhiji was assassinated. Then the volunteers guided us through the various rooms of the museum depicting different aspects of his teachings through appropriate use of technology.
