INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR OLDER PERSONS
To commemorate the International Day for Older Persons the Extension Unit of MIER College of Education (Autonomous) organized an online programme. The International Day for Older Persons is celebrated to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of older people in their families, communities and societies at large. This year’s theme of the United Nations International Day for Older Persons (UNIDOP) is “Pandemics: Do They Change How We Address Age and Ageing?”
Mrs. Komal Sharma, Convener Co-curricular Committee extended a very warm welcome to the audience and the guests. More than 10 student members of the Extension Unit along with their grandparents participated in an interactional session, shared their experiences and sang folk songs and bajans. In addition, a heart touching poem was recited by Ms. Sonika Sharma, a M.Ed semester III student, which was enjoyed by the audience.
