‘Toran-making creativeness’ and Chanderkala and Harneet Kaur bagged first prize
in Rangoli competition.
On the second day the student-teachers and teacher-educators

instead they creatively prepared attractive Diwali gift packages with
waste paper material. Slogan writing competition with pictures on theme of
“This Diwali burst your ego not crackers” was organized on the third day. Palak
Ratta achieved first prize by artistically writing the slogan -“Let's fill our
minds and homes with lights and flowers. Not explosives and fumes”. Diya

the children the various ways to celebrate green Diwali.
Principal Dr. Arjinder Singh explained to the

illuminated from within each one of us to follow the path of righteousness by
overcoming our negative thoughts and weaknesses.
