Anti- Terrorism Day - 21st April

The Death anniversary of our former Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi who brought reforms and reforms in various fields in our country, who modernized India, who sky-rocketed our growth in every field, is observed on this day. The great visionary was engulfed in the dirty fury of LTTE on this black day and the lose is yet to be filled.

The Day is observed to generate awareness in the country among all sections of people, about the danger of terrorism, violence and its dangerous effect on the people, the society and the country as a whole. Before going further lets remember all our valiant heroes who have sacrificed their
lives for our country and people in their fight against terrorism. All Hail Martyrs........

The objective behind the observance of Anti-Terrorism Day is to wean away the youth from the terrorist/violence cult by highlighting the suffering of the common people and showing how it is prejudicial to the national interest. These objectives are aimed to be achieved by organizing debates/discussions in schools, colleges and universities; holding of symposia/seminars, lectures, etc. on the dangers of terrorism & violence and a determined and sustained drive to bring about a mass awakening against terrorism and violence.

Voluntary organizations, social and cultural bodies organize their own programmes through lectures, talks, discussions, musical and recitation programmes and cultural functions, etc. Mass education programmes are held to highlight the ill effects of violence and terrorism. Anti-terrorism/anti-violence pledge will be taken in all Government offices, public sector undertakings and other public institutions.
