New Delhi: SNEH International School, New Delhi celebrated ‘The Sanskrit Day’ on 1st September, 2023 in its school premises to celebrate and honour the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit. It is the language of our Holy Scriptures and sacred texts. Sanskrit is also called the mother of all languages and many Indian and International languages are said to have been evolved from this ancient language. The Sanskrit Day started with the singing and performance of ‘सरस्वती वंदना’ by the students of class VII, VIII & X, followed by singing of ‘मम माता देवता’ by the students of Class V. This was then followed by a conversation in Sanskrit or ‘संवाद वाचन’ by the students of Class X and singing of ‘मृदपि च चन्दनं अस्मिन् देशे’ by the students of Class VI and VII. In the end, a short play or ‘लघु नाटिका – प्लास्टिकस्य प्रयोगं मा कुरु’ was performed by the students of Class IX discussing the disadvantages of using plastic. The entire programme was quite an enriching experience and it bought a feeling of connectiveness with our rich culture and heritage.
