Pahalgam  Attack in Jammu & Kashmir
April 22, 2025: A tragic and heartbreaking incident occurred in Pahalgam, a region in Jammu & Kashmir. A group of tourists, who had arrived with their families to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, were brutally attacked by Pakistani militants. In this violent attack, 27 innocent lives were lost — 26 of them were Indian citizens and one was a tourist from Nepal. Among those who lost their lives were some members of the Indian Army, who had recently gotten married and were visiting J&K for a short vacation. The victims were peacefully enjoying their time when the attackers approached them. Shockingly, the militants first asked about their religion, and upon identifying them as Hindus, they mercilessly killed them. This horrifying act has left the entire nation in mourning. As a mark of respect and solidarity, the Fabindia School organized a special assembly. During the assembly, a five-minute silence was observed, where students and staff prayed for the souls of the departed, their grieving families, and for peace to prevail. The atmosphere was filled with sorrow, and students were made aware of the brutality of the incident, reflecting deeply on the value of human life and peace. The school community, along with many others, demands justice for the victims and their families. Such acts of hatred have no place in humanity, and everyone stands united in the hope that justice will be served and peace will be restored.
Pre-Primary Section Report
This week was joyfully observed as a Mother’s Day Special Week, a time dedicated to honoring mothers' unconditional love, care, and strength. In Nursery, the tiniest members of our school family displayed immense dedication as they created beautiful handmade necklaces for their mothers. Students of Lower Kindergarten (LKG) made vibrant and personalized Mother’s Day Cards. Each card became a canvas for the children to express their emotions through drawings, colorful decorations, and heartfelt messages. The Upper Kindergarten (UKG) children took their creativity a step further by crafting elegant crowns for their mothers, symbolizing that the true queen of their home and hearts is indeed their mother. The activity was a beautiful metaphor for the honor and admiration they feel for their mothers every day. Meanwhile, the students of Class 1 participated in an educational and enjoyable "Adding Tense" grammar activity. This special exercise was designed to enhance their understanding of verb tenses in English. While this activity wasn't directly connected to Mother’s Day, it added an academic layer to the week’s celebrations, showing that growth and learning can be part of every special occasion.

A Call to Action
Gender equality in India is crucial to the establishment of a progressive and inclusive society. India has come a long way in the field of education, employment, and women's legal rights, but issues such as gender-based violence, pay gaps, and unequal opportunities still remain.
Educating girls and women, equipping them with skills, and giving them leadership roles is central to national development. Men and boys need to join the movement—overturning stereotypes, advocating for women's rights, and fostering respect at home, in schools, and in the workplace.
Government initiatives and societal consciousness are important, but actual change begins with all of us. Together, we can tear down obstacles and make sure that every Indian, be it a man or a woman, has the opportunity to succeed.
Together, let's stand for equality. Let's build a stronger India.
