DAV Public School in Sector-4 commemorated the 163rd birth anniversary of the visionary Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, paying tribute to his monumental contributions to Indian literature and culture. Born in 1861 in Jorasanko, Kolkata, Tagore's influence extended far beyond his time, earning him the distinction of being the first non-European and Indian to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, for his acclaimed collection of poems, "Gitanjali."
In a heartfelt tribute to Tagore's enduring legacy, a special assembly was organized within the school premises. Principal S.S. Kar, alongside teachers and students, adorned Tagore's statue with floral tributes, symbolizing their deep reverence for the literary luminary.
Students from various grades showcased their talents through a diverse range of cultural and literary programs. Snigdha from the ninth grade delivered a soul-stirring rendition of a melodious Bengali song, while Deepika and Ayush from the tenth grade delivered a poignant speech, reflecting on Tagore's remarkable life journey and multifaceted contributions to society.
The highlight of the event was a captivating dance performance by the school's students, choreographed to Tagore's iconic composition, "Ekla Chalo Re," which encapsulated the spirit of resilience and determination epitomized by Tagore.
Principal S.S. Kar, in his address, reverently referred to Tagore as 'Gurudev,' 'Kaviguru,' and 'Biswakabi,' highlighting his global acclaim and profound impact on literature, music, and art. Tagore's enduring legacy continues to transcend borders, leaving an indelible mark not only on India but on the world stage, ensuring his remembrance for generations to come.
