On Tuesday 3rd January, our school celebrated the birth anniversary of Savitribai Phule. The assembly that day was conducted with prayers for the girl child’s right to education and women’s empowerment. In honour of Savitribai, a video was shown on her life. One of the student gave a speech on her and dressed like her too.
The students were given information about Savitribai – She was known as India’s ‘first female teacher’. Noticing the plight of women in our country, she was determined to change it for the better. She pioneered the education of women and backward class communities in our country. Along with her husband Jyotirao Phule, she started a school for girls in Pune.
Enlightened by this knowledge about her, the students realized the importance of education and to value it.
