Each of the Skit and Dance performance had a unique way of telling six core values listed above. For example, the Skit and Dance on Integrity very rightly communicated that "Right is right even if no one is doing it...Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it". Being on right side....imbues the power to achieve.

About Discipline it is demonstrated through a simple skit and dance that just as a tender sapling needs support for growth, young minds need systematic guidance for stability in life. No strong winds can uproot a deep rooted tree.

Through another skit, Empathy was shown as the most important quality of a successful leader is the ability to feel what others are feeling. A leader's Empathy touches and transforms the multitudes.

Open Mindedness as a must to have value has been perfectly made to understood by all the audience through yet another dance drama that Plurality and Diversity are the very nature of Existence. Expecting homogeneity in humanity is a narrow view of life. The more open we are in life....more the Opportunities, the skit demonstrated.

The fifth skit and dance on the Effectiveness, conveyed that the intuitive ability to take a right decision at the right time to produce the most acceptable result arises from an Honest-Open minded-Empathetic-Creative individual.

The last of the qualities of the cultural extravaganza was Team Work. A team can achieve much more than what an individuals can. The world is not a peak that accommodates one winner. It is a plateau that can hold all the winners together, the skit said.

The program concluded with a vote of thanks by the CEO of the school, Mr. Vinaayaka Kalleetla.

More than 2000 guests and parents witnessed the cultural extravaganza.
