Moral science lessons prevalent in the past, were bookish, here we want to connect the children with the real world, the under-privileged and make them feel one with them. This is true education where there is that immense feeling of joy experienced in the act of giving and bringing a smile upon someone\u2019s face\u201d. The celebration of giving was under the aegis of \u201cDaan Utsav\u201d a programme on philanthropy started in 2009. The programme inspires students do a simple act of a small donation to a charity, a less fortunate or a meal for them and alternately spending time volunteering for a cause. \u201cIn other words it could be &#8211; money, time, resources or skills that one gifts another. The festival was to encourage children to do random acts of kindness or help someone in need\u201d, said Mr Khandelwal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was interesting to see school students collect slips from students of village school on the \u201cOne wish, gift to be fulfilled on Diwali\u201d.
