Another student Km. Bengia Yayer, Class VIII also shared her experience in the presence of Deputy Commissioner, Kurungkumey and parents in which she told that it is a good awareness program about harnessing solar energy and its importance.

All the students actively participated and became successful. They extended their gratitude to the Vidyalaya for giving them such opportunities to explore their hidden talents.
