Anti-Terrorism Day is observed across India on 21 May. The date is chosen to commemorate the death anniversary of one of the most eminent Prime Ministers of India, Shri Rajiv Gandhi (20 August 1944 – 21 May 1991).

This day is also observed to make people aware of ongoing terrorist activities and the precautions that can be taken by ordinary people to prevent these acts of terrorism. To spread this awareness, we Lissians (from LISS school), in association with URI Zero Limits Cooperation Circle, celebrated Anti-Terrorism Day with immense pleasure.
