Varied genre of activities and sports including Yoga, sports, village/ bharathanatiyam dance, carnatic music, english/tamil elocution, mimicry, Thirukural reciting, mono acting, fancy dress, dictation and pronunciation competition and kavadi & karagam performance were hosted at the 2-day event. Close to 392 students from 32 government and government-aided schools participated in the events.
Rtn. Pandian while addressing the gathering stressed that 'students should pay equal importance in developing their extra-curricular activities. Hence, parents should motivate their children to pursue sports and games as per their interests rather than forcing them to only concentrate on their subjects. It's great to see so many parents who've come from various parts of the city to witness their child perform'. He awarded the students with certificates and prizes as a token of appreciation and motivation.
