The most amazing performance was by the tiny tots of K.G. who presented an Action Song: aao bachchon tumhein dikhaien jhaki Hindustan ki.... The melodious singing set the tempo of the children and they were soon seen tapping their feet to the rhythmic songs sung by the students. The dances represented the states of Punjab (hulle hullari..) Rajasthan (re kereu..) and a folk dance (sans meri matkani....).

The school captain, Miss Prerna Chamoli, apprised the audience about the importance of freedom and the progress and development of the country in the last six decades. She reminded us of the pledge which Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru had taken then. "We take the pledge of dedication to India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity."

On this very special day recognition was given to the meritorious students and the dedicated and hard working teachers. As per the recently set tradition of the school, all the toppers from Classes Nursery to XII were given cash awards. Even those students who have secured more than 90% in the ICSE and ISC level were being awarded cash prizes. Two of our most senior teachers, Mrs. Mridula Chaturvedi and Mrs. Kiran Taneja, teaching Hindi and Economics respectively, were honoured with a shawl for giving best performances in their respective subjects at the ICSE level. It was indeed a proud moment for the school when one of our budding talented teachers, Dr (Miss) Sunita Sharma, was presented a shawl for achieving her Doctorate Degree in English.

Our honourable Principal Col. (Retd.) D.L. Sachdeva, in his speech, expressed his heartfelt thanks to Swamiji and all other distinguished guests for sparing their valuable time and witnessing the function. He said that his idea behind giving cash prizes to the toppers would serve as an incentive to the students and make them work harder. He thanked the parents for entrusting their children in the care of the school.
