The school celebrated Universal Brotherhood Day with great enthusiasm and devotion. The program was graced by the presence of Sri Amitesh Chanda, Officer In-charge of SIB, as the Chief Guest, and Sri Ram Sonar, Headmaster, KGBV, as the Guest of honor. The programme was attended by 89 parents and well-wishers, 119 students, 13 staff, and 9 family members.
The celebration began at 10:00 AM with the welcoming of the chief guest by the staff members, followed by the lighting of the ceremonial lamp. An invocation to the divine was presented by Km. Memi Yangfo and Km.Mechak Rebe of Class VII. After the welcome song, the Principal of the Vidyalaya delivered the welcome address and felicitated the distinguished guests. Following this, various cultural and literary programs were conducted to mark the occasion.
Kum. Richi Bagang, a student of class VIII, delivered the famous Chicago Address of Swami Vivekananda. Smt. Dhan Kunwar, teacher of the Vidyalaya, delivered the speech on the importance of the day. She highlighted how Swami Vivekananda went to America and delivered his famous speech in the World Parliament of Religion at Chicago. He conveyed the message of brotherhood all over the world through his speech and spread the teachings of Vedanta during his journey in the west. She also mentioned that we should not be exclusive to our faith and beliefs. Indians respect the faith and beliefs of each other; this is the only way to spread the philosophy of universal brotherhood as taught by Swami Vivekananda.
The students presented five Vivek Vani throughout the programme. Prizes to the winners of the Thought Presentation and Vivek Vani Competitions held at KGBV Chayang Tajo during the outreach programme were given away by the Chief Guest and the Guest of Honour. The students performed an action song, a traditional group dance, and a drama on the life incident of Swami Vivekananda.
The celebration of Universal Brotherhood Day was a success. The programme not only highlighted the teachings of Swami Vivekananda but also inspired the audience to follow the ideals of Peace, Harmony, and Brotherhood.
