US First Lady Melania Trump recently attended a “Happiness Class” at a Delhi government school in south Moti Bagh area. She was welcomed by students of Sarvodaya Co-Educational Senior Secondary School, who were dressed up in traditional attire complete with floral garlands and motifs.
To welcome the FLOTUS, floral rangolis were also drawn at multiple places in the school and a student band was waiting to welcome her. Amid massive security, children were seen rehearsing just outside the gate of the institution.
The children were dressed in bright-colored sarees and traditional dresses like ‘ghagra-choli’, some of them were carrying bagpipes and several other musical instruments.
The ‘Happiness Class’ was started by the Aam Aadmi Party in 2018. As part of the programme, students are taught various activities, including meditation, street plays, basic obedience and aims to reduce anxiety and stress levels among children.
Welcome to our school @FLOTUS! We hope you would have a great time here in #HappinessClass
It’s just 18 months old initiative but early results have made us confident that @HappinessDelhi is the ultimate solution to all violence & hate in mindsets that we r facing worldwide.

While addressing the students after spending over an hour at the school, Melania Trump said, “It’s very inspiring that students here begin each day with mindfulness and storytelling and connecting with nature. I cannot think of a better way for all of us to start our day.”
