One of the most beloved symbols in Bengal, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, recently celebrated the occasion of his birthday at Techno India Group Public School (TIGPS), Guskara. The occasion was a celebration of his huge contributions to women’s rights, social reform, and education. Vidyasagar was well-known for his unwavering support of women’s education and social changes. A variety of student performances honoured his enduring impact and brought Vidyasagar’s legacy to life.
The event included many different activities like speeches, dances, songs, and skits. Each one was made to show Vidyasagar’s important ideas for improving society. The students showed, with a lot of energy, how his work to support women’s education and challenge old, unfair rules is still important today. The speeches reminded everyone of how he led the way in allowing widows to remarry, while the dances and songs celebrated his love for learning and progress.
A student, dressed in traditional attire, paid tribute to Vidyasagar by reading from the iconic book “Barnaparichay”, authored by Vidyasagar himself, symbolizing his profound impact on education. With an image of Vidyasagar displayed prominently in the background, this powerful scene highlighted the deep respect and admiration the students have for Vidyasagar’s revolutionary contributions to education and social reform.
The celebration was more than a tribute; it was a call to action. As the school community came together to commemorate the life and work of Vidyasagar, they were reminded of the importance of carrying forward his legacy in everyday life. His progressive ideas continue to inspire, making him a figure deserving of not just remembrance, but daily celebration as we strive for a just, educated, and inclusive society.
