PUBLIC SCHOOL KASHMIR, publicized and observed the IDP as part of its programme “Education for Sustainable Development.” The school
caters to the educational needs of an integrated society. “The prevailing
situation in the Kashmir
Valley
has inflicted deep injuries upon peoples lives, particularly children and women. Besides has
caused an erosion of human values among the young generation especially
the school children, which is a threat to global peace & tranquility.
Keeping in view the importance of peace and it’s inculcation in the
young brains of children, we want to observe the International Day
of Peace so as to prepare the young generation for the development
of peace and its fruits.” (“WE THE PEOPLES” INITIATIVE Participant)
