The assembly started with a mime performed by students of classes VIII and IX depicting, through five scenes, the problem of water scarcity and raising a compelling question ‘What the future will hold for us, if water is wasted?’ followed by the reporters all over the world reporting ‘Water Crisis’. An inspirational song, ‘Pani re pani tera rang kesa’ was presented by Gurcharan and Daksh accompanied by Dhruv on harmonium and Mansukh Singh on tabla, followed by messages ‘Water is life’, ‘A gift so rare’.
