BY A STAFF REPORTER: After an uncanny spell of untimely rain,9th December 2023 dawned bright and clear. On this day after a gap of three years BGKV Primary section organized their Annual Prize Distribution and Cultural Programme. 

In the gracious presence of the Chairman, Dr. Bikram Sarkar (IAS retd), Vice Chairman, Shri Raj Kumar Chhajer, Director, Dr. G.V. Subramanian, Deputy Director, Smt. Sujata Ghosh, Principal, Shri Arun Kumar Dasgupta, Vice Principal, Smt. Monami Chattopadhyay, the Headmistress, Smt. Suparna Chatterjee and the Assistant Head Mistress, Smt. Chaitali Bhowmik, the programme started with a powerful rendition of the Saraswati Stotram and the Deepa Mantra.

The heartfelt tune and melodious voices filled all with a positive energy. The lighting of the ceremonial lamp was done after this by all the dignitaries to mark the commencement of the program.

 This was followed by the Director’s welcome address and the reading of the annual report by the Headmistress, highlighting the remarkable achievements of the school.

 Then the Chairman and Vice Chairman had enlightened the gathering, following which the prize distribution ceremony began. It was a delight to see the brilliant minds walk up on the stage and receive their awards with dignity and pride.

The Prize Distribution ceremony ended with the special award for the 'Best All Rounder Girl Child ' chosen among the students of class V. Next in queue was the magnificent tapestry of cultural programs that the students had worked hard to prepare and perfect.

It started with the English dance drama through which the children conveyed the importance of conservation of nature. Their sprightly dances and music entertained the audience while spreading a vital message. This was followed by the Hindi play depicting Lord Krishna's Bal Leela. It was a treat for all to witness the talented stars perform.

As a part of CBSE's 'Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat' program, West Bengal has been paired with Tamil Nadu. In an initiative to build a connection between these two states, the students prepared two dance performances based on famous folk songs of these two states. The first one from West Bengal saw our dancers sway to the tune of a famous Bengali wedding song-- Leela Baali Leela Baali.

The other song was a peppy Tamil dance number, which made the audience tap their feet to the rhythm. The energetic dancers did absolute justice to the song- Othakalu Othakalu Mookutiya! The beautiful afternoon ended with a vote of thanks delivered by the Assistant Head Mistress, Smt. Chaitali Bhowmik.
