IES celebrates Annual Day
Bhavans celebrated its sixth Annual Day recently. Indian Educational School turned on one more leaf in the calendar of events with the resonance of assiduousness and accomplishments in the colossal field of education when another eventful academic year reached its culmination.
The historical function was blessed with the gracious presence of the eminent educationalist, Shri Santhangopal Iyer, Joint Director of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai, India, along with distinguished dignitaries Shri N.K. Ramachandra Menon, Chairman, Bhavans Middle East, Shri Krishna Das Menon, Director, Bhavans Kuwait and Smt Sudha Ramachandran. The event also witnessed an eminent array of dignitaries comprising many a veteran in the field of education in Kuwait such as Ali Johar and Miss Christina, inspectors, Ministry of Private Education, Kuwait, F.M. Basheer, the principal of Indian International School and Convenor of Kuwait Chapter, Mrs Susan Rai, the principal of United Indian School, Dr Binu Mon, the principal of Indian Community School, Baldwin, the principal of Al Amal Indian School and Shafeeq Ahmed, the principal of the Integrated Indian School.
The proceedings of the day began with the recitation of the verses from the Holy Qur’an followed by lighting of the ceremonious lamp.
The Wall of Fame — an array of photo frames showcasing the pictures of the prodigies of Bhavans, who bring laurels to Bhavans in various fields were unveiled by the chief guest of the day, Shri Santhanagopal Iyer amidst rolling ovation.
An exuberant display of talents — a feast for the eyes and ears — was the main attraction of the day. The icing on the cake — The Cultural Fiesta based on the theme, ‘Rhythm of Life’, was a colourful concoction of hues, shades, flairs and verve. This left the spectators ponder over the significance of childcentered learning system such as in Bhavans to reduce the mounting stress upon children who are often treated as instruments to fulfil the unfulfilled dreams of their parents. The cultural extravaganza comprising dance, music, drama, mime, and many other forms of aesthetic expressions, embodying the theme ‘Rhythm of Life’ — with the stamp of novelty transfixed the spectators and filled them with wonderment.
Curtain fell on the most spectacular event of the academic year 2012-2013 when Akhil Govind, the School Head Boy proposed the vote of thanks in the midst of jubilation and vivacity. Bhavanites once again proved that a dream could be turned into reality through inspiration, perspiration and togetherness.
