Dear Sir/Madam,

 

The 138th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd October, 2007 is a historic

milestone in the global non-violence. The United Nations with the support of 143

member countries in the world has declared Gandhi Jayanti as an” International Day of

Non-violence”.

 

The Government has decided to celebrate 2nd October, 2007 i.e. the Gandhi Jayanti Day

As the ‘National day of Dedication’ with focus on community service activities

especially in those areas to which Gandhiji attached maximum significance i.e.

cleanliness, hygiene and dignity of labour. On 2nd October, the Hon’ble Prime Minister

will administer a pledge to the Nation at a function being organized in Delhi. It has now

been decided that  the members of the Bharat Scouts & Guides units all over the country

should also take the same pledge simultaneously.

 

The above pledge taking ceremony will be in addition to the programmes of community

service by the volunteers in the village/slums adopted by them. The Scout/Guide/Rover/

Ranger units in the state of  the Bharat Scouts & Guides should consider organizing

community service activities which were dear to Gandhiji. The above programme will be

in addition to the regular activities being organized on Gandhi Jayanti day by the Bharat

Scouts & Guides as communicated under Circular No.69/07, dated 22.08.2007.          .

 

You are requested to take steps for organizing different programmes as suggested above

And to make Gandhi Jayanti as a memorable occasion for the youth.

An Action Taken Report with details of activities conducted along with photographs of

The celebration may be sent to NHQ latest by 15th October, 2007.
