The little flowers of classes VI and VII set the tone for the day with a delightful and endearing ‘Street Play’ in Hindi on the eradication of child labour and gender discrimination. Eighty years after the original Quit India Movement, our students called for these social evils to quit Modern India.

Through the old and crinkly yellow pages of the newspapers, Students of class VIII came up with a discussion on the role of media in mobilizing public awareness and opinion on the Quit India Movement.

Carrying on the momentum, Students of class IX rendered a melodious song on communal harmony that was an important reason for the success of the Quit India Movement.  The patriotic piece of music touched everyone’s heart and left a soothing impact.
