Grandparents’ Day Celebrated at 7th Hosakote

Suntikoppa, Oct. 4: A.M. Ravi Changappa, a retired Subject Inspector from the District Education Department, stated that it is not enough for children to merely acquire academic knowledge; they must also cultivate good conduct by respecting elders and teachers. Inaugurating the Grandparents' Day ceremony organized for students at the Deepti School hall in 7th Hosakote on Thursday, he urged the children to shape their characters and grow into responsible citizens. He commended the institution for meaningfully celebrating 'Elders' Day' in alignment with the observance of the International Day of Older Persons on October 1st.

Presiding over the event, Father Abraham Patel of St. Sebastian Church, 7th Hosakote, spoke about the significance of the Grandparents' Day celebration, noting that it was a special occasion for children to bring their grandparents along with their parents to the school. He recalled how, during his own childhood, grandparents played a more central and complete role in their lives than even their parents. However, he expressed regret that in today's mobile-dominated era, mobile phones have become everything to children, creating a situation where people seem to have no need for one another. Speaking as the chief guest, retired Assistant Sub-Inspector Partha expressed regret that the younger generation is losing humane values ​​amidst the rush of modern life. He urged children to avoid falling prey to distractions like mobile phones and substance abuse, and instead focus on receiving a good education, becoming responsible citizens, and bringing honor to their parents. He also called upon them to cultivate the values ​​of respect for elders from an early age. Retired Headmistress Geetha Partha and Mother Superior A.J. Usha of Sacred Heart Convent also addressed the gathering. The guests honored more than 100 grandparents present at the event, presenting them with mementos as a token of appreciation. Cultural programs performed by the school children captivated the audience.
