LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI was one of the greatest leaders in India and is still inspiring millions by his contribution to India’s fight against Britishers and his role in the White Revolution and Green Revolution in India. Fondly known as Shastri Ji, Lal Bahadur Shastri was born on October 2, 1904, and was the second Prime Minister of India.
More than thirty years of dedicated service were behind Lal Bahadur Shastri. In the course of this period, he came to be known as a man of great integrity and competence. Humble, tolerant, with great inner strength and resoluteness, he was a man of the people who understood their language. He was also a man of vision who led the country towards progress. Lal Bahadur Shastri was deeply influenced by the political teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. “Hard work is equal to prayer,” he once said, in accents profoundly reminiscent of his Master. In the direct tradition of Mahatma Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastri represented the best in Indian culture. GD Goenka Public School, Sector 9 Rohini, remembers and pays tribute to the legend, revolutionary, visionary and the leader.
