The program was inaugurated by Commandant S. Prem Kumar, DHQ-5, Coast Guard. As part of the celebration the students of classes 6 to 9 presented posters, charts, book marks, wall hangings and models. A few of the students also came dressed as Swami Vivekananda and spoke a few words about the ideas he propagated. It enabled the children to gain knowledge and exposed them to new ideas and thought processes. The exhibition was viewed by the students of other classes as well as the parents. The event was coordinated by Mrs. Savithri and Mrs. Uma Maheswari of the Social Science Department. The program helped propagate ideas of universal religion, secularity and peace. It helped the students look beyond social classifications and allowed them to get a holistic view of diversity in community.
Everyone including the Chief Guest, parents and fellow students were thrilled to view the exhibition and were amazed by the efforts of their fellow comrades. The interactions aroused patriotic feelings in the young students. On the whole, the day was fun-packed, colourful and memorable.
