Nagasaki Day marks the anniversary of the tragic event during World War II when the United States of America (USA) resorted to the atomic bombing of the city of Nagasaki. Nagasaki Day is observed on August 9 every year. The bombing killed thousands of citizens and led to long-lasting effects on those who survived. The day is commemorated to push for non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and effective disarmament.
Nagasaki Day is a reminder of how devastating the effects of nuclear weapons can be. It is a day to remember the lives lost and to create a world devoid of such destruction. It is important to emphasize on the values of global peace, harmony, cooperation and disarmament. To spread this awareness, students of IXJ presented an assembly on Nagasaki Day on 9 August 24 at Amanora school.

● Word of the Day, Thought of the Day, News updates
