20.12.2009 to 30.01.2010 |

|
Well educated youth from various fields, across the country who vowed to revive and retain Gandhian ideals and principles undertook a cycle rally from Gandhiniketan Ashram to Vardha from 20.12.2009 to 30.01.2010. They are trying to bring home the message how villages are badly affected by urbanization. Marching towards industrial development, our rural economy is deteriorating. Increase in number of vehicles leads to noise and air pollution. The poor are becoming poorer and it is high time we find a solution to all these vital problems. Gandhian principles alone can provide a good solution to these pending problems. This rally aims to create an awareness among our people about individual freedom, Gram Swaraj, Economical Equality, and Kadhi and village industries - the dreams and aspirations of Gandhiji. A meeting was conducted in Gandhi Mandapam on 19.12.2009 to explain the aims and objectives of Cycle Yatra and to discuss their activities. Ashram secretary Prof.V.Ragupathy gave welcome address and Tamil Nadu sarvodaya Mandal secretary A.Annamalai proposed vote of thanks. Kumarappa Vidyalaya Principal R.Rajendran, Higher Secondary school Headmistress Ms.R.Rajeswari along with other Ashramites attended the meeting. The rally was flagged off by K.M.Natarajan, Chairman, Tamil Nadu Gandhi Smarak Nidhi in the presence of senior Gandhians, Suga Barat Maharastra and Satyapal, Punjab. The rally is expected to reach Sevagram Ashram in Maharashtra on Jannary 30. |

||||||
|
Christmas was celebrated with gay and gaiety on 21.12.2009 at 3.00 pm in our auditorium. Teachers and students from both Primary and Higher Secondary Schools and members from other units of Ashram attended the function. After prayer Ms.R.Rajeswari Headmistress welcomed the chief guest and others. Primary students sang Praising Lord Jesus. It was followed by an action song. Special guest of the occasion Rev. Father Susai Manickam, H.M and correspondent, Claret Hr. Sec. School, Karumathur, delivered his speech, explaining the importance of X-mas day. He said that Christmas is a day of happiness. It marks joy and peace. We must love our neighbours irrespective of their caste, creed and religion. God, Who is supposed to be in Heaven, descends on earth, whenever there is a need for a total change in the Universe which results in empowering of good over evil. Jesus came to earth to save us all from the surrounding evil. His mission was accomplished. Students listened to the humerous talk very attentively and enjoyed whole – heartedly. Higher Secondary students also sang songs. Mr.M.Lakshmanan, in Santa Clause costume was the centre of students’ attraction. He narrated tales about his visit to various countries and meeting leaders. His very appearance and style of walking itself induced the children to burst into laughter. He presented his Christmas massage and wished the children a merry Christmas and happy new year. Mr.G.Muthuramalingam proposed vote of thanks. The function ended with national anthem by 4.30 pm. |
