The Chief Guest The Hon’ble Justice Shri C. K. Rai, in his speech, lauded the performance displayed by the students which gave Goosebumps to everyone. He said that students need to separate themselves from modernity and English and recognize the interestingness and importance of Hindi. Today Hindi has established its identity among the world languages spoken not only in India but all over the world and on the basis of number of words, Hindi has become the largest language in the world. Today, there is increasing interest among the students towards English language. Even though speaking English is considered a matter of respect in India, English does not have that much importance in most of the countries of the world. The only reason for hesitation in speaking Hindi is the choice of English medium during pre-primary education. Even today, most of the parents in India want to enroll their children in such schools which provide education through English medium. Whereas according to psychologists, a child is able to absorb his mother tongue most easily and can understand anything very well in the mother tongue.
Mrs. Shamli Sen, the famous Katthak and Bharatanatyam dancer praised all the presentations and said that all the folk dances were amazing. The students gave amazing dance performances. She said that many people are not even aware of these folk dances of our country . These folk dances are our culture, art, genres. This is our heritage and knowing it is imperative for all of us.
On this occasion, Shri Kumar Kuntal, the Senior Divisional Manager, LIC of India exhorted the performance of students and said that Being one of the most diverse nations in the world, India is a place where numerous traditions, customs, religions and languages flourish.
