Being a Sunday, Raksha Bandhan celebration in schools is not possible and that is the reason to why school authorities celebrate this festival the next day that is on Monday. The celebration of such festivals at school taught life lessons to students and helped them to develop their social awareness in society.

The program started by worshipping ‘Rakhi’ by Head Master Kalpana Shantaram Wagh and school students. After which they took the oath that “Protection and conservation of the environment is my own duty”. For environmental protection, the students tied Rakhi to trees in the school.

The Head Master of the school Kalpana Shantaram Wagh said, “Police never gets time to celebrate any festival as they have to take care of our safety, maintain law and order. We see, Police is always ready for our protection in khaki uniforms every day, but they also have emotions and we saw those emotions today. We went to Narayan Peth’s Police Chowk and tied Rakhis to Police and I saw their eyes filled with tears.” In the end, Students also tied Rakhis to staff members, watchmen and Rickshaw drivers who drive them to school every day, they expressed their gratitude.

In short, School was trying to developed positive qualities in students in their early age by celebrating such festivals at school.
