RAINBOW 2018 -EK BHARAT

“Unity in Diversity is not merely a slogan but it demonstrates the country’s collective strength. It imbibes the concept of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’.” –PM Narendra Modi

Indian culture is one of the oldest & unique. In India, there is an amazing cultural diversity throughout the country. The South, North and Northeast have their own distinct cultures and almost every state has carved its own cultural niche. If compared, there is hardly any culture in the world that is as varied and unique as India’s.
India is a vast country with a variety of geographical features and climatic conditions. India, a place of infinite variety, is fascinating with its ancient and complex culture, dazzling contrasts and breathtaking physical beauty.
“Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.”
Children of our country should be trained to appreciate the national beauty, ancient cultures, past history and involve themselves in the progress of the country.
