The NSS unit of Innocent Hearts College of Education, Jalandhar celebrated Gandhi Jayanti by organising various activities on the theme of inculcating Gandhian values and principles of truth, non-violence, simplicity and tolerance amongst the would-be teachers.
All the student-teachers actively participated in an Extension lecture organised on the sub-theme - ‘Open thy arms to change, but don't let go of your values.’ The resource person for the event, Language trainer (alumna) Ms.Tanvi narrated interesting stories from the life of Mahatma Gandhiji, the way he faced hardships with great courage and tackled them with determination and patience. She elucidated, ‘in this world which is moving through the phase of violence and terrorism, there is a significant requirement of Gandhian philosophy of non- violence even more today than was in the past years.’
A drama was enacted by the student-teachers Nargis Jaitwani, Reetu, Rajni Sharma, Riya Lamba and Doras Malhotra with the primary aim of promoting Gandhian ideas on Experiential Learning, Nai Talim, Work Education and Community Engagement. It potrayed that Nai Talim (New Education) focussed on nurturing multiple skills in a child based on her/his interest. It prepared students with knowledge, skills and self-reliance, which open avenues for expanding opportunities for employment and overall development of an individual.
Principal Dr. Arjinder Singh highlighted that true character-building education needs to be focused on values, ethics and ideal citizenship. It is very much important for our would-be teachers to understand and imbibe the philosophy of education given by our Father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhiji. The Principal and all the staff members appreciated the performances of the student-teachers.
