Lucknow, October 22: Over 59,000 students
of all the 21 Campuses of City Montessori School celebrated Deepawali in their
respective campuses with great fanfare. The main programme was organised at CMS
Gomtinagar Campus I where students enacted Ramleela, giving the message to
follow in the footsteps of Lord Ram and celebrate Deepawali in its true spirit.
On this occasion, students pledged to
celebrate cracker-free Diwali and spread awareness among children about the
hazards of fire-crackers. The Principals of different campuses appealed to the
entire countrymen, especially the school children, that in the interest of the
country, society, environment and for their own health and safety, they should
'say no to crackers' and celebrate a safe Diwali spreading the light of unity
and dispelling ignorance by lighting the lamps of knowledge in every household.
CMS
Founder and renowned educationist, Dr Jagdish Gandhi, while praising the
'Cracker-free Diwali' mission of CMS students, said that CMS advocates for celebrating a clean
Deepawali against a Pollution-filled Diwali with crackers which spread sound
and air pollution. Every year, a large
number of crackers are burnt causing heavy damage to the environment and
increasing the pollution level in the air as well as increasing sound pollution
by several decibels that is extremely dangerous for humans, animals and
plants. Thousands of children suffer
injuries due to crackers and several meet untimely death due to accidents
caused by crackers burst on Diwali. He stated that though for the past many years,
City Montessori School has been making the society aware about the need to
celebrate a Cracker-Free Diwali, it is now that we are getting much support
from society for which we are obliged.
