Let students spread peace

I had a chance to attend the observation of the International Nonviolence Day organized by the Indian Consul General. The function was excellent with the presence of diplomats of various countries and local dignitaries. Their speeches on the relevance of Gandhian principles enlightened the function.

We could make this day more meaningful if the Indian mission would take an initiative to conduct essay and elocution competitions on “The relevance of non-violence in today’s turbulent world” among school children in the month of September every year and give a trophy for the best performer. It will give a yearly opportunity for the young generation to study Gandhian principles which will sow the seeds of peace in their minds.
