Class IX students participated in a “Tiranga Rangoli Competition,” where they showcased their artistic flair by creating rangolis in the colours of the national flag. Using powders, flower petals, and pulses, the rangolis reflected the themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and unity. They were evaluated on creativity, neatness, and relevance to the national spirit.
