RANCHI, Delhi Public School, Ranchi observed the birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, on 2nd October 2025, with profound reverence and solemn dignity. The occasion became not merely a celebration, but a collective act of homage to the apostle of peace, truth, and non-violence, whose ideals continue to illuminate the moral compass of humanity.
The programme commenced with Principal Dr. Jaya Chauhan offering a floral tribute at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi within the school campus. The teachers and staff members, in a spirit of deep respect, joined the Principal in venerating the revered leader whose life remains a timeless beacon of humility and righteousness. In a gesture of inclusive homage, Dr. Chauhan also garlanded the statues of Swami Vivekananda and Gautam Buddha, thus evoking the shared heritage of harmony, enlightenment, and service to humanity that these illustrious figures represent.
On this august occasion, Principal Dr. Jaya Chauhan addressed the gathering with an inspiring and soul-stirring message. She remarked, “Gandhi Jayanti is not merely a commemoration of a historical figure, but a reaffirmation of the eternal principles of truth, peace, and compassion that Gandhiji both lived and sacrificed for. As educators and learners, we bear the responsibility of translating his lofty vision into tangible action. In an era marred by conflicts and divisions, his principle of Ahimsa reminds us that true strength rests not in retaliation but in forgiveness and tolerance. His idea of Swaraj calls upon us to be self-reliant, disciplined, and conscientious citizens of this great nation. Today, as we also bow our heads before the legacy of Swami Vivekananda and Gautam Buddha, we are reminded that character, wisdom, and service are the pillars upon which great societies are built. I urge my dear students to make these values the guiding force of their lives – to choose honesty over expediency, kindness over indifference, and diligence over complacency. DPS Ranchi remains steadfast in its mission to nurture not only brilliant intellects but also compassionate souls, capable of building a society where truth and non-violence are not lofty relics of the past, but living realities of the present.”
The solemn observance of Gandhi Jayanti at DPS Ranchi thus became a poignant reminder of India’s rich moral legacy and an earnest pledge to perpetuate Gandhian values in thought, word, and deed.
