Commemorating completion of 100 years of Champaran Satyagrah in a special assembly at Global Indian International School (GIIS), Noida today, Grade 8 students of the campus paid a heartfelt tribute to the efforts of Mahatma Gandhi, which freed farmers from the debasing laws of the Britishers.

Beginning with the celebrations for such a historic event in India’s history, significance and the reason behind celebrating the day with so much pride and honour was shared by the students. Antara, Aman, and Saksham from 8th grade presented a detailed power point presentation, which was followed by a beautiful song sung by our school choir that exhibited the spirit and determination of Indigo farmers during their fight against the Britishers.

Concluding the celebrations, a video clip from the movie Gandhi was shown to students to portray the charisma of Gandhiji with which he fought against evil without violence.
