PANJIM: In an innovative move initiated by Directorate of Education in association with a Vasco-based organization, school students will send ‘rakhis’ to the soldiers guarding the country’s borders.
The Chaitanya Pratishthan is organizing the program ‘one rakhi for the jawan at the border’ at Kala Academy on the eve of Raksha Bandhan, August 17, wherein rakhis would be collected from students and people to be handed over to the jawans.
“The main objective is to inculcate patriotism in students, to show love towards jawans, to recognize and remember the sacrifice made by them for the nation,” a circular issued by Education Director G P Bhat states.
