The library marked the anniversary of the historic Quit India Movement of 1942 with a vibrant and educational celebration on date 8th August,2025 in the school library. The event began with a brief introduction on the significance of the movement, highlighting Mahatma Gandhi’s call for “Do or Die” and the role it played in India’s struggle for independence.
Students of different classes and sections participated in quizzes, discussions, and storytelling sessions that brought to life the courage and sacrifices of freedom fighters. The atmosphere was enriched reminding everyone of the values of unity, self-reliance, and perseverance. The celebration not only honored the heroes of 1942 but also inspired the younger generation to value and preserve the hard-won freedom of our nation.
The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Kranti, was launched by Mahatma Gandhi on 8th August 1942 at the All India Congress Committee session in Bombay (Mumbai). The movement demanded an immediate end to British rule in India. Gandhi gave the powerful slogan "Do or Die", inspiring mass protests across the country.
The British responded by arresting top leaders, including Gandhi, Nehru, and Patel, and declared the Congress Party illegal. Despite harsh repression, the movement saw widespread participation by students, workers, farmers, and women. It was one of the final major campaigns in India’s freedom struggle and paved the way for independence in 1947.
