                      National Gandhi Museum Trip
                      कक्षा 6 और 7 के विद्यार्थियों का राष्ट्रीय गांधी संग्रहालय शैक्षणिक भ्रमण

                      ओ.पी.जी. वर्ल्ड स्कूल द्वारा ‘गांधी जयंती’ के शुभ अवसर पर शनिवार, 3 अक्टूबर 2026 को नई दिल्ली स्थित नेशनल गांधी म्यूजियम (राष्ट्रीय गांधी संग्रहालय) का एक शैक्षणिक भ्रमण आयोजित किया गया। इस यात्रा में कक्षा 6 और 7 के विद्यार्थियों ने बड़े उत्साह के साथ भाग लिया। इसका मुख्य उद्देश्य छात्रों को राष्ट्रपिता महात्मा गांधी के जीवन, उनके उच्च आदर्शों तथा भारत के स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में उनके अमूल्य योगदान से व्यावहारिक रूप से परिचित कराना था।

                      म्यूजियम में बच्चों ने गांधीजी की तस्वीरें, व्यक्तिगत वस्तुएँ और पत्र देखे। इस दौरान कक्षा 6 के विद्यार्थियों ने सोशल साइंस तथा कक्षा 7 के विद्यार्थियों ने हिंदी से जुड़ी गतिविधियों में भाग लिया।

                      म्यूजियम में विद्यार्थियों ने गांधीजी द्वारा विभिन्न सत्याग्रहों के दौरान दिए गए ऐतिहासिक भाषणों और दांडी मार्च से जुड़ी स्मृतियों को गहनता से समझा। उन्होंने गांधीजी की प्रसिद्ध दांडी (लाठी), उनकी जेब घड़ी, उनके सादे वस्त्र तथा उनके द्वारा इस्तेमाल की गई प्रत्येक वस्तु का सूक्ष्मता से अवलोकन किया। इसके अलावा, सत्य और अहिंसा के मार्ग पर चलने के लिए गांधीजी को विभिन्न देशों से मिले अनेक मेडल और सम्मान देखकर विद्यार्थी अत्यंत प्रभावित हुए।

                      इस यात्रा से विद्यार्थियों को समाजवाद का सही अर्थ—समानता और सेवा-भाव—तथा अहिंसा का वास्तविक अर्थ समझ में आया। उन्होंने जाना कि अहिंसा के इस शक्तिशाली मार्ग को समझने के लिए ही अन्य देशों के लोगों ने गांधीजी से संबंधित पुस्तकें पढ़ीं। गांधीजी द्वारा लिखी गई पुस्तकों और उनकी सीख को मार्टिन लूथर किंग जूनियर और नेल्सन मंडेला जैसे विश्व के महान नेताओं ने अपनाया। दुनिया भर के देशों ने अपने नागरिक अधिकारों और स्वतंत्रता आंदोलनों में गांधीजी के सत्याग्रह और शांतिपूर्ण मार्ग को अपनाकर प्रेरणा प्राप्त की।
