AN EDUCATIONAL VISIT @ GANDHI AASHRAM 2023

"A visit to Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad: A journey through history and inspiration"
 
Sabarmati Ashram, also known as Gandhi Ashram, is a historical and spiritual site located on the banks of the Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It was the home of Mahatma Gandhiji, the leader of India's independence movement, from 1917 to 1930. Today, it is a museum and memorial to Gandhiji's life and work.
 
Apolliets recently had the opportunity to visit Sabarmati Ashram, and it was a truly inspiring experience. As they walked through the ashram gates, they felt a sense of peace and tranquility. The ashram grounds are beautifully landscaped, with lush gardens and fruit trees. There are also several buildings and structures on the grounds, including Gandhiji's home, a museum, a library, and a prayer hall.
 
They started visit by touring "Hridaya kunj", where students took a walk around the ashram grounds and visited Gandhiji's home, which is a simple two-room house. They also visited the prayer sabha, where Gandhi and his followers would gather to pray and meditate.
 
The Students also visited the museum houses a collection of Gandhiji's personal belongings, including his clothes, books, and letters and the great symbol of self reliance Spinning Wheel (Charkha). Ashram also has exhibits on Gandhiji's life and work, including his early years in South Africa, his role in the Indian independence movement, and his philosophy of non-violence.
 
One of the most moving exhibits in the museum is a collection of photographs of the Dandi Salt March. The Dandi Salt March was a protest march led by Gandhiji in 1930 against the British salt tax. The march was a major turning point in the Indian independence movement, and it helped to galvanize public support for Gandhiji's cause.
 
As students walked through the ashram, they couldn't help but be inspired by Gandhiji's simple lifestyle and his commitment to non-violence. Gandhiji's message of peace and love is still relevant today, and Sabarmati Ashram is a place where people from all over the world can come to learn about his life and work.

HEALTH AND HYGIENE

There is a great quote of Mahatma Gandhi, “It is health that is the real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver”. Staying healthy is not only about eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. It also has a lot to do with adopting hygienic and clean habits or routines. Initiating the idea of cleanliness and hygiene for students makes them more inclined towards their school activities and practices in general.
