The birthday of first Prime Minister Sh. Jawahar Lal Nehru, 14th November, is celebrated as Children's Day throughout the country. He was reciprocated as "Chacha Nehru" by the children for his immense love towards children.
This year also the Children's Day was celebrated in our school with great zeal and enthusiasm. The children themselves organized the whole function.

The title of the play was Veer Shiva'. It was all about the acts of bravery of Shivaji. Then there were few songs in English and Hindi. A girl student read a poem about "Chacha Nehru" and his great works towards country. A student posed himself as "Nehruji" wearing the same dress and having a rose bud in his coat's button hole.
