The programme began with an informative introduction about the Hindi Diwas through a PowerPoint presentation. This was followed by a literary programme ‘Kavi Sammelan’. The boys recited the poems of great Hindi poets, such as Tulsidas, Mahadevi Verma, Ramdas Mishra, Dr. Sudhakar Mishra and Jayshankar Prasad.

A trivia quiz on the information presented was also organsied, and the winners received prizes from Father Rudolf D'Souza, who also shared some significant facts about the Hindi language.
