A Glimpse of the Celebration
The assembly commenced with a heartfelt prayer, “Humko Mann ki Shakti Dena,” invoking the blessings of the Almighty for the nation’s progress and prosperity. This soulful beginning set a reflective tone for the celebration.
Following the prayer, students from Grades III to V performed a thought-provoking skit that addressed gender stereotypes and the inequalities that still persist in society. This performance was a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles for equality and justice, resonating deeply with both students and teachers alike.
The atmosphere was further uplifted by a choir of students who sang a patriotic song, instilling a profound sense of pride and unity among the audience. The beautiful rendition of the song was followed by an energetic dance performance on “Aarambh Hai Prachand,” which filled the room with enthusiasm and courage, symbolizing the resolve to fight for righteousness and justice.
The assembly concluded with an inspiring address by Ms. Shalini Kapoor, Head of Primary School (HOPS).
