Navrachana Vidyani Vidyalaya fondly bid adieu to the batch of 2018-19 on February 16.

The function was graced by Chief Guest, Mr. Samir Parikh – Founder, Naman Integrated Management Services Pvt.Ltd., Sandhya Gajjar- Trustee-NES, Suprabha Menon-Principal Navrachana Sama, and Rekha Mishra- Director, NES Resources Development.

The event commenced with the ceremonial procession led by the Vidyani band, followed by lighting of the ceremonial lamp. The programme further progressed with captivating dance performances by the students portraying the perplexity they face in choosing the right combination of subjects and finally concluded that every discipline can make one a champion, if pursued with diligence.

This was reiterated by Chief Guest Samir Parikh in his address wherein he highlighted that the hierarchy which prevailed among different streams no longer persists in this multi-disciplinary era. He advised the students to just focus on continuous growth and pursue their goals with both grit and grace. Principal Dr. Archana Mishra too wished the outgoing batch good luck and urged them to shine and make Vidyani proud wherever they may be in the future. She then administered the valedictory oath, making the students promise to keep to the Vidyani code of ethics and always conduct themselves as responsible citizens.

In their trip down the memory lane, valedictorians Secretary General Jay Maheshwari and Council President Mrunalee Chitaliya expressed their love and gratitude for the school for bringing out their true potential and making them into independent learners. An LCD presentation, ‘Memories’, too opened the floodgates of the past by portraying snippets from the batch’s daily school life down the years, while the fish pond injected its own flavour of humour when the teachers read out their take on each student!

As always, the solemn Tilak ceremony was the highlight of this highly meaningful event which marks the transition of our students into young adults. At the end, the students presented a token of appreciation for the school which was followed by a sumptuous dinner for all.

For our senior most batch, the evening was definitely filled with nostalgia and mixed feelings of sadness and excitement. So long, farewell, and all the best to our students for their board exam and future ventures!
