Sanskrit sloka on students
यथा हि चक्रं परिवर्तते सततं,
तथा विद्या च परिवर्तते निरन्तरम्।
विद्यार्थिनां चेतसि सदा परिवर्तना,
नवीनं ज्ञानं सततं हि दीप्यते॥
Meaning: "Just as a wheel is constantly turning, so too is knowledge continuously evolving. In the minds of students, there must always be change, as new knowledge constantly illuminates."
This shloka encourages students to embrace change, reminding them that learning is a dynamic, ongoing process that requires openness to new ideas and adaptability.
Background:
The date of 17th November was chosen to be the International Students' Day due to the events that unfolded in Prague during World War II. Nine students were executed without trial in concentration camps on the 17th November 1939. Nowadays, November 17 marks a celebration of multiculturalism of international students. Understanding the history of world politics, "Students are the carriers of change" Students have become examples of great political, social and economic change. Every year on the 17th of November, World Student Day is celebrated around the world in a deeply non-political and multicultural way.
Today is the day of the Nazi soldier's assassination and arrest of students at various universities in the Czech Republic in 1939, and the student's martyrdom, remembering the incident and the entire global community commemorates this day.
Theme 2024:
The theme for World Students' Day 2024 is "Empowering Students to be Agents of Change". This theme encourages students to take responsibility for their education and future, and to be leaders and innovators. It also highlights the role of students in building a better world through knowledge and action.
In Nepal too, the participation of students in various stages of movement and transformational steps is very important, The great politicians of the country have learned the virtues of politics by participating in the student movement since their student days. There are both good and bad sides to student politics. It is important to be independent, impartial and neutral in acquiring education.
Meaningful wishes of this day
