The salient feature of the Independence Day evening was the Inter House Decoration/Illumination competition of the three schools.
The staff and boys of the three schools had decorated their houses in a fantastic manner. The most fascinating presentation was by the boys of Senior School. Boys of all the four houses had decorated their houses so befittingly that it was very difficult for the judges to give their verdict.
The Principal accompanied by the head of schools and judges inspected all the three schools and admired the efforts of the boys in decorating their houses.
