Subject: ‘Run for Unity’ on Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day) – reg.
Dear Principal
As you are aware, the Birth Anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the architect of national integration of independent India, is observed as Rashtriya Ekta Divas (National Unity Day) on 31st October every year. This is an occasion to foster and reinforce our commitment to strengthen the unity, integrity and security of the nation.
This year, to mark the occasion in a befitting manner with great enthusiasm, ‘Rashtriya Ekta Diwas’ may be observed as per following manner: –
1. Pledge: The schools may administer ‘Rashtriya Ekta Diwas’ Pledge in the morning assembly. The text of pledge is enclosed.
2. Run for Unity: Students may run for short/ long distance as per their feasibility and convenience. The Run may precede/ coincide with the morning assembly/ zero period/ start of the day in schools preferably at 7-8 am on 31.10.2023. Wherever possible, either at start or end of the Run, Principal/ senior faculty member/ student(s) may speak about role of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in national integration. Wherever feasible, families of students/ staff members and local community may also be asked to join the Run. A special outreach attempt may also be made to ensure participation of street children from marginalized areas including Divyang children etc. in the Run.
3. Activities: The schools may also organize activities like debate, speeches on Sardar Patel’s contribution in uniting India, school assemblies dedicated to Sardar Patel and exhibition on life and contributions of Sardar Patel.
The schools should upload a brief report of the ‘Run for Unity’ and other activities at the following link before 04.11.2023: https://forms.gle/iNdtK4aWcKbzMPUa8
