8. Gandhi Jayanti Celebrations:

The UBA wing organized celebrations in connection with October 2, Gandhi Jayanti to the
school children of UBA villages. There were 4 events for the same (3 competitions and 1 virtual
tour). Keeping in view of Bappu’s principles of serving the society, honesty and cleanliness, the
Unnat Bharat Abhiyan team of Vimala College (Autonomous), Thrissur is organizing the
following events to students of UBA villages.

1. ‘Arise’ : The activity aims to create habit of “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” by inculcating
new and creative ideas in school children for creating “Best out of Waste”. Creative
minds can create extra ordinary and useful things out of unwanted materials in a useful
way. UBA volunteers create tutorial and educational videos and circulate the same
among school children in UBA villages. This will enhance the creativity and nurture the
value of environmental protection. We also encourage them to send back videos/photos
illustrating the same at home. E- certificates will be provided to the participants.

2. ‘Shine’ : This activity is dedicated as a befitting tribute to Gandhiji’s ideology of
“Cleanliness”, as he believed and said“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with
their dirty feet.” UBA team inculcates the true spirit of cleaning the surrounding during
pandemic period by giving video illustrations of “Cleaning tricks and hacks” which will
encourage the school children to help their parents in cleaning their home, electronic
equipment and premises. We also encourage them to send back videos/photos illustrating
the same at home. E- certificates will be provided to the participants.

the 17th century and was later adopted worldwide as a message of peace and tolerance
due to Mahatma Gandhi's visual metaphor of the three monkeys, with one of them
