Vimukthi is a scheme implemented by Kerala government in order to spread awareness among people about the deadly harms caused by drugs and thus to create a drug free state by repudiating drugs. The inauguration ended up at 4.00 PM and after that the audience witnessed a lot of entertainment programs. 108 programs were conducted from 4 pm to 6pm in 7 stages.

11 students from Grade 7 to AL participated in Mime competition with a theme Drug abuse. To tell a story effectively without words is a difficult task. But our students interpreted the theme very well in-front of the audience.

Shastri Road was mesmerized on Tuesday evening in the ‘No Drunken Street’ with art, literature and sports programs like song-singing, poetry recitation and story-telling, Kalarippayattu combined with Kerala thanima and Meyvanakkam, mime, street drama, painting, etc…

About 30 students from Grade 4 to AL in our school participated in the events Flash Mob. Flash mob with lively steps along with rousing song was really enthralling. The students were highly excited to perform in front of a crowd. The performance by our students was mind blowing and their energy was on the next level. It was a beautiful and entertaining performance. The whole team was very graceful especially the kids from Grade 4 and 5.
