‘Incredible India’ expo
The Air Force School 9 BRD, Chandannagar, organized its first inter-house virtual exhibition 2021-22 on the theme ‘Incredible India’. Some working and non-working models, including ancient Indian sports, the Vedas, instruments to check humidity, ancient forts, medicines, ancient attires, were on display.
Despite lack of resources because of the restrictions, the children came up with good ideas. Although AFSCN holds an exhibition every year, the virtual platform was different. The show’s judges included Group Capt. Aman Midha (retd), senior practice manager Rajesh Babbar and software engineer Priyanka Bhardwaj. The event was attended by Wing Commander V Kiran, executive director of Air Force School Chandannagar and principal Garima Goel.
Each group presented their idea to the audience, dressed in different attires from across the country, showing unity in diversity. The winners were — Aranyani Pal of Standard III and Arjun Namdeo of Standard V from Group II, Vaishnavi Koturwar, Parul Thakur and Tejal Katkar of Standard VIII from Group III and Sumedha Siddarth of Standard X and Mukta Mane of Standard IX from Group IV. All the children were awarded e-certificates and participation certificates.
