“All great undertakings are achieved through mighty obstacles” said Swami Vivekananda.

We , the embodiments of school take high responsibilities in order to make our school achieve glory on all perspectives.

* It is always a privilege for us to be part of our school’s program. We celebrated our School’s Annual Day, 153^rd Janma Diwas of Swami Vivekananda and National Youth day on 12-01-2016. Tri-seas meet at Kanyakumari to make it a divine place. Yes, it is divine because Parvathi Devi did tapas there . Even the great saint Swamiji did tapas to know the reason for the backwardness of our country.Our school’s program also has got three headlines to make it so divine that too happens in same Kanyakumari with the holy bliss of almighty.

* Our school day begun at the beautiful dusk of the day. The sound of peacock, birds and light music on God added colours to the beginning. Source of life begins with light. The fire that gives heat and life for all species of world.

Fire that gives way to throw away darkness. Lighting the lamp is a traditional way to pray God. Our tradition has taught us the same. The highly esteemed dignitaries on the dias were called on to light the lamp.

* This nation “Bharat” has a glorious past. It has high spiritual belief. It is mother for all nations. It too has its struggles to be free from the clutches of alien rulers. Freedom was not easy to be received.It was received through great struggle of our national leaders who left their lives for our country. In order to kindle the spirit of freedom and pay homage to the national leaders, our school children began the program with “VANDE MATARAM”.

* Welcoming brings passion for the spectators. Welcoming is a part of decency. It turns more marvelous when our esteemed authority welcomes the gathering with his sweet words. It was a splendid welcome by our respected Principal Shri. S.Abraham Lingom. Followed by that he presented the Annual Report.

* Formal welcome and speech make verbal communication. But pleasing the ears can be done only through melodious song. Our students tranquiled our souls by singing a marvelous song in Sanskrit.

* Followed by the group song was the Special Address by Shri. V.Jeya Kumar,M.A.,M.Ed.,M.Phil., Chief Educational Officer , Nagercoil. He spoke about the need for youth to follow the sayings of Swami Vivekananda.
