The event began with a welcome dance after students lit the cauldron followed by a spectacular march-past by contingents.
Clad in Santa Claus dress, the kindergarten students participated in racing to collect chocolates from a bag placed on a table. Another group vied with each other and elegantly raced till the finish on bicycles. Half a dozen tiny-tots took part in a similar contest holding earthen pots on their heads amid music. These performances won thunderous applause from their parents and other visitors.
Visitors were delighted to watch Miss NSM contest, peacock dance, mass drills coupled with several other performances. Student leaders read out the annual report of the school listing the various achievements in the current academic year.
