On March 5th, the morning assembly at MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul was a meaningful celebration that beautifully intertwined cultural and religious awareness with academic recognition.

The session began with Ms. Alfiya, who thoughtfully introduced students to the significance of Ramadan, the sacred month of fasting and reflection observed by Muslims around the world. She highlighted the values of spiritual discipline, empathy, and unity that define this important time. Her address was complemented by Rhea and Fariha from MYP 2, who shared their personal insights into Ramadan, focusing on the themes of self-discipline, gratitude, and compassion.

Adding depth to the cultural discourse, Ms. Priya shared the meaning behind Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of the Lenten season in Christianity. Her message underscored the importance of humility, introspection, and spiritual renewal during this period.

The assembly also recognized academic excellence, as students who performed exceptionally in the English Olympiad were celebrated. A special round of applause was given to Ms. Saumya Sharma from MYP 2, who was awarded a gold medal for her stellar performance.

This assembly not only celebrated diversity and academic achievement but also nurtured an environment of respect, awareness, and inclusivity—core values that continue to define our vibrant school community.
