The importance of the day was highlighted through a brief talk, reminding everyone about Chacha Nehru’s vision for children as the nation’s true strength and future.

A special highlight of the day was the cultural programme presented by the teachers. The teachers showcased their hidden talents through a variety of performances such as songs, skits, dances, and musical presentations, which filled the students with laughter and joy.

Our Correspondent, Very Rev. Dr Leslie Clifford Dsouza conveyed his heartfelt wishes to all the students and encouraged them to live joyfully, love deeply and laugh freely. Their inspiring words made the celebration even more meaningful.
