Gandhi Jayanti Community Education & Values Program – Jajpur, Odisha

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Grow Together organized a community-centered educational initiative at Baliapal Ashram Bidyalaya, NadiaBhanga, Duburi (Jajpur), aimed at instilling the timeless values of peace, non-violence, and social responsibility among students and the local community.

This program was designed not only as a commemorative event but as a platform to promote value-based education, encouraging young minds to adopt principles of truth, self-reliance, compassion, and service—core ideals championed by Mahatma Gandhi.

Program Highlights

The initiative commenced with a peace rally, where students, teachers, and volunteers actively participated by marching through nearby areas. Carrying placards with Gandhian messages and raising awareness slogans on non-violence, cleanliness, and unity, the rally fostered strong community engagement and participation.

This was followed by a speech competition, where students from various grades showcased their understanding of Gandhian philosophy, reflecting on its relevance in today’s world. The activity encouraged critical thinking, confidence, and value-based learning.

A prize distribution ceremony recognized outstanding participants, reinforcing motivation and appreciation for student engagement and learning.

Community Engagement & Support

As part of the outreach, Grow Together ensured inclusive participation by distributing 100+ nutritious tiffin packets to students, reflecting the organization’s commitment to holistic well-being alongside education.

The program also served as a platform to promote civic responsibility, with key messages emphasizing:

  • Non-violence and ethical conduct

  • Social responsibility and community service

  • Environmental awareness and cleanliness

  • The importance of education as a tool for empowerment
