ASSEMBLY ON DIGNITY OF LABOUR

CLASS: V-A

True dignity lies not in status, but in sincere and honest work.

The students of class V-A presented the assembly centered around the topic 'Dignity of Labour' on Friday, 02 May 2025. The assembly commenced with the prayer followed by a soulful performance by the school choir. The children sang an inspiring song that celebrated the dignity of labour, urging everyone to work hard, stay determined, and never give up. Their voices echoed a powerful message — that every honest job deserves respect and that true success comes through dedication and perseverance.

The thought of the day highlighted the essence of dignity in labour – the idea that all work, regardless of its nature, is honourable and worthy of respect. Several speakers with the help of placards spoke about how each job holds value and deserves utmost respect regardless of the nature or the social status it may confer. Mahatma Gandhi preached dignity of labour in the Sabarmati Ashram. A poem related to the topic was also recited to stress that all types of jobs should be respected equally and no work should be deemed inferior or be overlooked.

Overall, the assembly was informative, inspiring, and served as a reminder of the values of equality, respect, and humility.
