BORIVLI, AUGUST 27, 2009: A wonderful presentation on different states of India was executed at Don Bosco High School, Borivli
on August 21, 2009. The presentation which took place in the classrooms was carried about by the students of Std. Six under the guidance of their teachers.
What followed was a myriad of emotions, as the students dressed up in different costumes, colours, fabrics brought in food items from different states of India. The states of Goa, Rajasthan, Kerala and many others were a visual delight. It was an enticing moment when the state of Goa entered right into the classrooms. The students with colourful hats, strumming the guitar to popular mandos and those dressed in the traditional Lungi, serving food on banana leaves had the attention of every one. Each state had a story to tell and the delicacies of every state were warmly served to the visiting teachers and staff members welcomed with a traditional aarti.

This whole exercise proved as a unique and excellent way to teach Social Sciences and get the students involved in the syllabi. The students and teachers look forward to more such wonderful displays of varied cultures, clothing and cuisines with PowerPoint presentations to help children understand better.
