Rabindra Jayanti Celebrations

The Morning session started with the multicolored renderings of the Pre-Primary students. “kothao Amar Harie Jaoar Nei Mana” transported us to a land which was full of flowers, butterflies, the rustling of the leaves, the floating clouds, the raindrops and the roses.

The Primary section remembered Rabindranath Thakur and Nazrul Islam with recitations and the dance-drama. The Poem “Ichamati” by Rabindranath Thakur showed us vividly the longings of a child. This child wants to be a small river that will travel distant lands.

The students of class VI and VII offered their homage to our “Bidrohi Kobi” with the song “Dur Dipobasini, Chini Tomare Chini.”, that echoes the longings for something unknown.
