The cultural programme began with a
melodious group action song by class II students 'Hum
Chaman Ke Phool Hai' pledging to face all the challenges
of the world.
Our tiny tots did not lag behind!
Class I students gyrated beautifully to the tune of 'We
keep our umbrella…'
'Music is a great communication
and language can never be a barrier.' It was proved true
by a scintillating Garhwali folk dance by class III
students. The dance was a real treat to the eyes!

The school basketball ground, "OMKARANANDA
MINI STADIUM", was transformed into a mini Rajpath, which
witnessed a number of colourful events like 'Aisa Des hai Mera…'
by class V students and 'Jai Ho' by class IV students exhibiting
their love and pride for the nation.

'Physical recreation is the best ingredient
for overall development.' It was proved by a 'Lezium Display' by
class IV and V students. Their synchronized hand and feet
movements looked really graceful.
Some breathtakingly advanced Yoga Asanas
were performed by the students of class II to V. The presentation
filled the audience with a sense of pride of being an Indian.
