PRAYER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almighty God, we thank and praise you for the gift of Mahatma Gandhi to our nation. We gratefully recall the hardships that he endured while devoting his life for the attainment of truth and goodness; for the eradication of social evils within his own society and for the restoration of India\u2019s dignity as an independent nation. It is with gratitude that we remember that the legal emancipation of women and \u2018 Untouchability\u2019 were the effect of Gandhiji\u2019s tireless efforts. May the priority that our great Leader gave for the development of villages through the grass root economic progress\u00a0 and through self-employment programmes\u00a0 that the\u00a0 poor and\u00a0 the middle class people could gain a decent living and earning. In this era when the government authorities concentrate on urbanisation and commercialism, where migration of the poor becomes a reality and those in peripheries are left out of any development, help us to follow the noble lessons of non-violence, simplicity, truthfulness, equality and brotherhood among people. We pray these values guide each and every citizens of the nations and the RA\u2019s may be a source of social change by upholding the values of Mr. Gandhi. Amen.<\/p>\n
