Following this, the school, along with Bishnupur Uchchal Probaho, jointly organized a programme to celebrate India’s 72nd Independence Day and Sri Aurobindo’s birthday.  

On this special occasion the school students performed various patriotic songs, and our teachers gave talks on the significance of Independence Day and on the life of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh and his contribution as a freedom fighter of India. A food festival was also organized for the guardians, who participated enthusiastically in this exciting competition.
