World Peace Day at JMA Pilani Rajasthan

Located in the heart of Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, Pilani is well known in India today for various top ranking educational institutions, CSIR Laboratory CEERI as well as the upcoming BrahMos Missile Assembly Project unit. Jamuna Mishra Academy – JMA established in the year 2004 which has been making rapid strides in early childhood education is presently one among the top ranking and most sought after schools at Pilani Rajasthan.

JMA which started with an enrollment of 60 students for the Nursery, LKG, First Junior and Class1 has grown today till Class VIII with well over 500 students. The girl student enrollment has been steadily rising every year and is presently close to 50% of the total strength which itself is a matter of pride in a state like Rajasthan which had alarmingly low record of girl’s education. JMA Pilani regularly celebrates various days of national and international significance which include the recent ones such as Hindi Diwas Day, Engineers Day, International Ozone Day etc.

The first International Day of Peace also known as World Peace day was observed in 1982 and 2011 is the 30th anniversary of same. It was earlier celebrated on the third Tuesday in September but after 2001 it is being observed on September 21. JMA Principal Mrs Booma Natarajan addressed the students and teachers of the school and gave an overview of the significance of the day and emphasized on this year theme "Peace and Democracy: Make Your Voice Heard" with the famous Gettysburg Address quote of Abraham Lincoln "Democracy is a Government of the people by the people and for the people".

The teachers and students also recited the song used by the United Nations and UNICEF "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be". In 1955, Sy Miller and Jill Jackson had created this popular ballad, which has since been recorded by numerous artists and performed around the world.
