Make in India
The 15th Annual
day function at Witty International School, Pawan Baug was an expression of
creativity and imagination portrayed by the students in accordance with the
theme “Make in India” to express the rich culture and heritage of the Nation. The
event was graced with the presence of Karsan Ghavri, Vishwaraj Jadeja and
Aishwarya Bhadari who are great stalwarts in the fields of cricket, ice-skating

The

spellbound. The Principal, Mr. Bijo Kurian presented the Annual Day speech
while the Annual Report of the School’s achievements
and accolades was put across by a group of students through a mock parliament
termed “Witty News”. It was indeed informative as well as a moment of pride for
the school to have come a long way. This was followed by the felicitation
ceremony to applaud the students for the meritorious achievements this year.
A splendid blend of dances and drama was incorporated which
showcased the true spirit of ‘Make in India’. The dances truly ranged across a
broad gamut of Hip-Hop, MJ Bhangra, Folk, Bollywood freestyle, Classical,
Tollywood, Horror dance, Robotic Lavni amongst others which truly set the stage
on fire. The highlight of the show was the shadow dance which featured the
concept of Clean India - Green India. The occasion was also marked by a
rendition of poems in the Kavi Sammelan which symbolised humour, patriotism,
etc. A musical Kawalli also enthralled the audience with their foot-tapping rhythmic
music. The story
of our 15th Annual Day revolved around the family of a kind and compassionate
woman and her vision to see India at its glorious best. Her son’s dream to
build a top construction company is hampered by the vicious clutches of the
corrupt officials present. However, the family doesn’t give up easily; and
decide to teach the corrupt officials a lesson and hit upon a plan to unveil
the heinous crimes undertaken so that millions of other entrepreneurs are given
a chance to fulfil their dreams.
At the Pre-school level, participation and experiential learning
form the key aids of instruction and this is what the children exhibited at the
concert. The musical, titled The Incredible Indian Adventures Of Aladdin And
Friends took the audience through an exciting enchanted journey with Aladdin,
into the land of culture and tradition Incredible India. Students from Play
group to grade 7 performed dances which perfectly complimented the theme. The
dance performances depicted the culture and the religious traditions of India.
Each class performed with colourful props adding more beauty to the art. The theme for this year was ‘Make in India’ which had
Vasco da Gama and Sindabad visiting
India and Namo and Chankya touring them through the states .They briefed them
about the industries and India’s underlying potential for manufacturing. On
this tour Sindabad and Vasco also witnessed India’s vibrant culture and the awe
– inspiring tourist spots.
Founder and Chairperson, Dr. Vinay Jain stated, “I believe that every
child has a seed of creativity inside. If we nurture those artistic seeds by
teaching them to exercise their creativity skills from a young age they will
blossom with holistic personalities. This is our step towards cultivating the
habit of positive attitude and social skills.” It was a memorable day for some of our
students who had excelled in sports, music and fine arts at the State and the
National level Competitions as they were felicitated and honoured by the Guest
of Honour for the event. The chief guests spoke about their achievements and
experience in their respective fields.

and our reputation as one of the city’s top schools exemplify the success of
our educational model – an international school with an Indian mind, an Indian
heart and an Indian soul. All these inspire us to continue to do our best, in
preparing children for the 21st century.”
Among the most acknowledged
shows were the UV act and Tron dance providing an amazing visual impact that
wowed the audience. The UV act
was one of the most magical acts, weaving its spell through a multitude of
props and visual tricks conveying the history of India.
