All these products made by the students with the help of the teachers were put on display and sold to parents, guardians, and members of the community who came in to witness and support the work of the students.
The event commenced with a warm welcome by Mrs. Moachila, Head Teacher, who provided a brief introduction to the “Bagless Day” concept. The proceedings included an invocation and exhortation led by Padma Shri T Senka Ao.
