INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS With the ongoing pandemic situation, the virtual Independence Day celebrations in the month of August, was a unique way of expressing patriotic zeal by our students.   Many students from classes IV to XII expressed their  opinions  and feelings about India’s  freedom  struggle and how  to preserve  it through  their speeches  and poetic  expressions. Many videos and photos were posted by students pertaining to the spirit of freedom. Wearing tri coloured costumes, holding Indian flag in their hands and even smearing tri colour on their faces...the students, evidently, conveyed their strong emotions for India. Our students followed the innovative ideas given by yoga teacher Ms Rekha Naidu and exhibited yog asanas through videos and photos to reflect their spirit of freedom. The response was overwhelming as all the class teachers also motivated and guided their students.
