The Government of the day recognises the important contribution of Girmitiyas and their rightful place in Fiji's history and therefore they have introduced Girmit Day.

Assistant Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation, Sashi Kiran highlighted this at the Girmit Day celebration hosted by the University of the South Pacific this morning.

Kiran conveyed her appreciation to the organising committee for putting together the commemoration by organizing a debate session for the eight participating schools.

The Assistant Minister says the effort put in by each participating student, the support of parents and the guidance of teachers for enabling these youths made today's debate session a very impactful one.
