RakshaBandhan became a tribute to courage and sacrifice at SPK Jain Futuristic Academy, as its students visited the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and tied handmade rakhis to NDRF personnel, honouring those who had spent their lives protecting others, often away from their own loved ones.
The celebration was graced by MrSantosh Thakur, Assistant Commandant, and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), whose presence added significance to the students’ heartfelt gestureThe initiative turned the celebration into a heartfelt expression of gratitude and human connectionFor the students, the rakhis were much more than a part of the festival—they became a simple yet meaningful way of showing their respect and appreciation for the courage and dedication of the NDRF personnel.
As the students tied the handmade rakhis, the celebration brought together two generations in a simple yet meaningful moment of gratitudeWhile RakshaBandhan was traditionally about the bond between brothers and sisters, the students got to experience the festival in a much broader way by meeting those who spent their lives protecting othersTheir interaction with the NDRF personnel helped them understand the courage, responsibility and personal sacrifices that came with the job, while also giving them a chance to connect with the people behind the uniformThe experience reflected SPK Jain Futuristic Academy’s effort to help students learn beyond the classroom and grow into compassionate, responsible and socially aware individuals.
Dr.JayeetaGanguly, Principal, SPK Jain Futuristic Academy, said,“RakshaBandhan reminded our students that protection is not limited to family—it is also about honouring those who protect us allThis small gesture of tying a rakhi was our way of teaching them the value of gratitude, courage and respect.”Shri JaideepPatwa, Secretary, SPK Jain Futuristic Academy, said,“For us, RakshaBandhan was about recognising those who protect others every daySeeing our student’s tie rakhis to the NDRF personnel was a proud moment and a beautiful reminder that gratitude can create a bond beyond boundaries.”
The RakshaBandhan celebration at the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) became a powerful reminder that the spirit of protection went far beyond the bonds we shared at homeAs young students tied rakhis to the hands of those who had dedicated their lives to protecting others, a simple festive gesture turned into a heartfelt tribute to courage, duty and sacrificeThrough this initiative, SPK Jain Futuristic Academy showed that sometimes the smallest gesture—a thread tied with gratitude—could carry the strongest message, those who protect countless families deserved to be celebrated too.
