Students delivered inspiring speeches, shedding light on the life and principles of Mahatma Gandhi and the significance of Dussehra in Indian culture.

The celebration continued with vibrant Garba and Dandiya performances by the students, which filled the atmosphere with festive joy. Teachers too joined in the traditional dance, making the event even more lively and engaging. A special highlight of the program was a solo dance performance by Janhavi from Std IV, which received great applause from the audience.
