                                  UNITY IS STRENGHT

                              The topic that I am going to talk about is “Unity is Strength.” As we all know unity is strength is a famous and meaningful proverb, and we know the importance of unity also. First we can think about meaning of the word unity. In a word, unity means oneness or togetherness. When there is oneness there is likely to be more strength in opinion, more strength in action and more strength in character. I shall explain the word unity by telling a story.                                                                 

                                    An old man lived with his four sons in a village. The old man was worried. His sons were always quarelling with each other. He had tried telling them many times to avoid fighting. But his sons would not listen to him. One day, he called his four sons. He gave them a small bundle of sticks, and asked them to break the bundle into two. The bundle was made of four sticks. “It is child’s play,” said the eldest son. He took the bundle and tried to break it. He was surprised that the sticks in the bundle remained intact. He used more force. He tried again and again. He started panting for breath. The bundle would not break. He gave up. Then his brothers tried to break the bundle of four sticks without success. Their father smiled and asked them to untie the bundle. He asked each brother to take one stick and try to break it. Each of the sons took a stick in hand. In no time, the sticks were bent and broken. “A single stick is easily broken. If four sticks come together it is impossible to break them,” said the old man, giving his sons a meaningful look. This time the lesson went home. The brothers stopped fighting each other. They would work together as a team and succeed in doing whatever work was given to them.  The four boys had discovered that unity is strength.     

                                           We can understand that unity bring peace, happiness and success. Being combined a lot of complicated tasks can easily be done by short time. This we experienced in our capacity building programmes. We could perform well, even in a short span of time. I would like to recollect about our community living camp.  It was SAMAYOGA 2019. From this itself we can understand that how unity is important in any group activities.

                                 As future teachers it is our responsibility to make our students accept each and every individual. So teachers become role model among the teachers also the students.  So celebrate unity celebrate diversity.                  Thank you......................
