“When there is both inner and outer cleanliness, it approaches godliness,” Mahatma Gandhi

On this special occasion of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of our Nation, keeping abreast the mission of our school to de-clutter the environment, instill healthy habits in the young minds and maintain hygienic well-being, Swachh Bharat Mission was conducted on the premises of Private International English School (PIES) by the teachers with immense involvement of the children and their parents. The school surroundings were cleaned collectively with great enthusiasm by all the volunteers.

Mothers of our students who volunteered for this noble cause reported to the venue far before time leaving all their morning household chores aside. The scene of mothers in green, the dress code chosen for the occasion to be one with nature, coming in large groups holding the growing hands of their innocent children cladded in green, was inspiring.

The mission of cleaning the surrounding was declared officially open by the Principal Ms. Girija Byju. Principal cheered the crowd with all enthusiasm and reminded them about the importance of being true to our words and action. She also requested the children to be with their parents and help them in maintaining cleanliness at home.

A good team of teachers, students and parents cleaned the surrounding of the school picking the plastic carry bags, containers, wrappers and bottle necks thrown casually on the ground. The collage made out of pictures of our children helping their parents at home in cleaning the utensils, laying the bed, and mopping the floor was another centre of attraction on the day. Vice Principal Mr. Suresh Balakrishnan gave the welcome speech and Ms. Usha Kumari the Event Coordinator proposed the vote of thanks.
