With the onset of the new year, the students of Udgam School for Children participated in the annual function held at Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Auditorium. After over a month of practice sessions, the annual function was held over two days where thousands of parents graced the occasion
Morning Shift
पंचतत्त्वम् – The Soul of Creation
PANCHTATTVAM denotes the five elements that form the universe and life – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. The event began with an engaging story of an alien arriving on Earth to understand our planet. Through this narrative, children explained how life is made of these five elements, both within our bodies and in the world around us. The theme beautifully conveyed the harmony between nature and human meaningfully.
The program was divided into two groups Amrut & Anant. Students were involved in various performances such as anchoring, drama, dance and yoga. Songs were carefully selected to match different rhythms and energies of the elements.
दिव्य कथाएँ – Stories of Faith, Courage & Culture
DIVYAKATHAYAIN was a grand journey through mythology where Narad Muni guided students across tales of devotion, valor, sacrifice, and dharma. Each performance — from the birth of Ganesha, the battle of Raktabij, Krishna’s playful Leelas, Samudra Manthan, Narsimha Avatar, Eklavya’s sacrifice, to the eternal saga of the Ramayan — became a living tapestry of culture and values.
It was not just a celebration of stories but a reminder that these values are eternal flames guiding students in their own journeys of learning and life.
Roaring Gujarat
ROARING GUJARAT depicted how Gujarat has made its mark in the world and continues to roar across fields of history, culture, heritage, and contribution. Each segment highlighted a unique facet of the state’s pride – the values of courage and valor, the work of the visionaries, the folk traditions of the land, the heritage of the architecture, the festivals of the region, and the trade of the industry.
In the end, Roaring Gujarat was not just a cultural showcase but a reminder that the very roots of the state are what allows us to roar proudly on the world stage.
Noon Shift
Kritagyata – Thankful Threads
KRITAGYATA is a Sanskrit word meaning gratitude. The programme began with a prayer and expression of gratitude to God, Nature, and the Motherland. Students honoured parents and teachers, and celebrated friendship and togetherness.
India’s cultural richness was showcased through vibrant folk performances, while skits conveyed how gratitude builds empathy and strong relationships. The journey continued with reflections on self-worth, heartfelt tributes to farmers and soldiers, and concluded with a message of gratitude for life itself —to acknowledge, appreciate, and live with gratitude every day.
Happiness – It’s Right Here!
The Annual Show celebrated the art of finding joy in the ordinary – in gestures of gratitude, through acts of kindness, and between moments of togetherness. The students expressed how joy is not reaching the summit, but rather the act of choosing to climb every day, in the smallest of ways.
Through music, movement, and drama, the students reminded us that happiness is not something to be pursued; it’s something to be noticed, shared, and felt.
The program and the performances beautifully connected these themes with the school’s newly launched motto: Hard Work, Honesty, and Humility. In every practice session, through every beat, with every head held high, students carried the school spirit with pride and courage.
