The Chief Guest on the occasion was Major General Deepinder Singh. The day began with the hoisting of the national flag by the Chief Guest. The school resounded with the national anthem proudly sung in unison by all students, but what added to the deep sense of patriotism in every heart was the hundreds of tricolours fluttering from the rooftops and the huge banners that adorned the walls of the school building. A patriotic group song by the school choir and a speech on the duty of every Tagorean to be a worthy citizen by Vansh Sehgal set the mood for the day.
