Celebration of Matribhasha Diwas

Sant Nirankari Public School, Avtar Enclave celebrated ‘Matribhasha Diwas’ as per the instructions of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on 21st February 2019. The date marks the anniversary of the day when Bangladeshis fought for recognition for the Bangla language. The day was recognized by UNESCO to be celebrated world over as International Mother Language Day, to promote the preservation and protection of all languages globally.

Our school marked the occasion by organizing various activities in which the students of our school participated enthusiastically. The following activities took place:

  1. Elocution: The activity was a fiery one, with students expressing their opinions quite vocally.
  2. Essay Writing: For those who are not that confident speaking in a public forum participated in this event in large numbers.
  3. Dance Activity: Performing Arts department of our school prepared a dance performance in our morning assembly on this occasion, in order to spread awareness about this day amongst students and staff.
  4. Painting Competition: The budding Picassos of our school took part in the painting competition and expressed their best skill on the canvas, with relevance to this particular event.

Many laid their lives in this particular campaign for preservation of their mother tongue in Bangladesh years ago. This incident has inspired people globally, as well as within the SNPS Avtar Enclave family to be respectful and take pride in their respective mother tongues.
