Patiala—On October 15th, the United Nations celebrated the birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, recognized as the best student in 190 countries worldwide. On this occasion, Mr. Kaka Ram Verma, Chief Instructor of the First Aid Safety Health Awareness Mission, organized an awareness program for the students at Mahendra Kanya Mahavidyalaya, led by Principal Mrs. Richa Sharma.
Principal Sharma said that according to Mr. Kalam, we are indebted to Mother Earth and Nature because they have always provided us with good food, water, air, security, respect, love, and prosperity. Therefore, we should also make Mother Earth beautiful, safe, and secure by decorating it with flowers, air, water, food, love, and compassion, rather than using our wealth and power to destroy the present and future by spreading bombs, hatred, violence, and protests.
Mr. Kaka Ram Verma periodically organizes programs, competitions, and first aid (CPR) and disaster management training programs to raise awareness among students. He shared the hardships, poverty, and challenges faced by Bharat Ratna Dr. Kalam Sahib during his childhood and youth.
Kalam Sahib always thanked his country's governments, scholarship programs, teachers, mentors, and parents for the knowledge he acquired and the work he did for the protection, honor, prosperity, and progress of Mother India through the powers of science and technology, and for the honors he received at the national and international levels, never complaining or complaining.
On this occasion, the school students were moved by listening to and expressing their thoughts about the activities and achievements related to Kalam Sahib's life. School Director, Mrs. Jatinderjit Kaur Dhillon, said that students should face poverty, troubles, failures, and problems in life with full confidence and high spirits, and believe that God will make their hard work, honesty, humility, tolerance, and sweet speech successful.
Because to shine like the sun, one must shine like the sun every day, on time. Great achievements can only be achieved through constant hard work, honesty, humility, tolerance, patience, calmness, and obedience, with the blessings of one's teachers, gurus, and parents. Children were encouraged not to waste their parents' hard-earned money on fireworks, show-offs, and sweets during festivals, but to care for their safety, health, well-being, the environment, cleanliness, and animals and birds.
