Children’s day in our country is celebrated on 14th November on the occasion of our Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday. There are lots of things we can talk on Pt. Nehru and his affection towards children.
Deepalaya celebrated Children’s day in almost all centres. This day is just not about giving gifts to children, organizing events but also about making them realize their contribution to nation-building. It is also about giving them sufficient opportunity to open their wings and fly high to achieve their goals.
The special highlight of this year’s children’s day was, we celebrated the day with Amway, as the exhibition was organized for this special day. The event hall was decorated with lots of creative things, just to the perspective of children. To make this day more special, our students from Sanjay Colony Learning Centre were invited to the Amway office to celebrate this auspicious day with their employees.
The event started with a warm welcome by Ms Parul Gupta, a CSR Head of Amway, where she introduced Deepalaya with the employees of AMWAY and appreciated the efforts of whole staff for organizing it. The event followed by a speech by our beloved director Mrs Jaswant Kaur. She spoke about the impact that Deepalaya has created over these years with the support of Amway. She praised the staff of the centre (Sanjay Colony) and the kind of work they are doing to help each and every child. The children exhibited different models on Math’s, Science and even History. The staff applauded their efforts and beautiful cultural performances.

Our students gave different types of dance performances like on Punjabi folk dance. A group of senior girls presented a skit on “Say no to Plastic”, targeting the current situation in Delhi as Plastic bags are harmful not only to our health but also to our environment. They are one of the main causes of pollution in the environment. The 30-minute-long skit was filled with songs, group dance, voice-overs and brilliant stage acting by the students of the Sanjay Colony Learning centre.
Cake ceremony was also organized in which they distributed the gifts students asked for through their wish list, which included sports items, books, and comics and so on.
The event was concluded with a speech by the CEO of Amway, where he discussed the significance of children’s day and shares some important glimpse between Deepalaya and Amway.
The exhibition proved very useful for everyone and was followed by lunch and internal networking.
