Birla Public School (BPS) celebrated 'Tamil Day' with great enthusiasm on January 14 through a special assembly presented by the students of Grades I and II.
The assembly highlighted the significance of the Pongal festival, the Tamil language, and the rich culture and traditions of Tamil Nadu.
The programme began with a Tamil prayer song, followed by the school’s vision, mission, and objectives. This was complemented by the Arabic Word of the Day, a motivational thought, Discover India, and a Tamil birthday song for students celebrating their birthdays.
The young learners displayed their talents through engaging speeches on the traditional festival of Pongal, melodious songs, poem recitations, and a graceful folk dance performance, all dressed as renowned Tamil poets.
The event was graced by vice principal Edna Fernandez, and headmistress Josephine Fernandes. In their addresses, they emphasised the importance of the Tamil language and the cultural significance of Indian festivals.
BPS continues to foster awareness and appreciation of languages, culture, and festivals among its students, nurturing respect for India’s diverse heritage.
