Yet, they have clean faces, are cheerful and optimistic about their futures and strive to learn and educate themselves, to be able to face the challenge of the New India.

The most popular festival of India - Raksha Bandhan is also celebrated in schools with girl children tying the Rakhi band to boys. Some girls don’t have brothers and so they tie a rakhi on their friends' wrists and thus ritualise Raksha Bandhan.
