October 2nd has passed, unlike the essence of the day for the other age groups, this day, which is celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti, is a prominent day for the school children. It is quite common to see the teachers assigning some or other kind of project works to the kids celebrating the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, father of the nation.
For all the good, it is quite good to see school children focusing on nurturing their creative abilities to bring the maximum output in terms of project works. Parents too indulge in their kids’ work, motivate them further. Meanwhile, here’s a little girl who broke all the limits in making a fine project work. She definitely stunned everyone with her mindboggling idea, well, that didn’t go well.
This picture of the little girl doing her project work, with a caption “This little girl made a project on Gandhi Jayanti and her mother is still in shock”, is going viral on the Internet. The picture shows a young girl completing her ‘Gandhi Jayanthi’ project by cutting up pictures of Mahatma Gandhi from the new Rs 500 and Rs 2000 Indian Currency notes. Over eight Rs 2000 notes and four Rs 500 notes are seen in the picture.
Though the image is forwarded as a joke on social media handles like Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp, one must know that actually cutting notes or destroying the Indian currency in any way is illegal in our country.

On a note, people went saying that damaging the Indian currency notes is a punishable offense which is illegal. A currency note is basically a promissory note or legal bond and the person using these notes does not actually own the note. The ownership of the currency note stays with the Indian government. They are sovereign securities that should not be tarnished or harmed in any way.
Despite that, if we take a closer look at the image shows that several notes with the same serial number are being used in the project and people are debating if this is a mere work of photoshop or whether the girl was actually using colored photocopies of the currency.
Now, on a whole, it would really be great if people would stop circulating this kind of pictures and proceed to cross-check their facts.
