A short programme was staged by the boys showcasing the rich and glorious culture of Maharshtra ghrough speeches and dances.

“Remember your roots and be proud to be sons of Maharashtra and our great motherland India. Don’t forget to give back to this glorious state and country of ours when the time comes for you to go out into the world and make a difference," remarked ViceRector Father Diego Nunes. 

One of the boys,  Sahil remarked that he felt proud to be part of such a rich heritage and history. He added, " I also received some nice insights into Maharashtrian culture through the two speeches delivered." 

The programme ended amid chants of ‘Jai Maharashtra’ and ‘Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jay’.
