We observed Odia Bhasa Divas at our school. Students, teachers, and the principal welcomed our Chief Guest for the function, Ms Subhadra Pattanaik. The event was characterized by a paika dance by our students who displayed the discipline and valour of the Paikas of Khurda. The event also witnessed various speeches by our students and teachers who emphasised the importance of the Odia language in our society. The chief guest interacted with the students and instructed them to respect their mother tongue.
