The foyer was beautifully decorated with handmade objects, paintings and handicrafts that were prepared by the VIDYA students and community women. After the traditional lighting of the lamp and the address by VIDYA’s Chairperson Mrs. Rashmi Misra, 200 students from all the centers of Delhi and Gurgoan commenced the program by singing the VIDYA song ‘Dhruv Tare sa ban kar tu’. The primary children delighted the audience with the rendition of Ganesh Vandana & a foot tapping welcome song. The senior students presented a thought provoking play ‘Before and After Partition’ highlighting the changing face of India over the years. The younger students stole the show with a colorful ‘NAVRAS’ (nine emotions) which was a beautiful blend of music, narration and dances.
