Raksha Bandhan was celebrated with full enthusiasm and zeal at St.Montfort School on  17th August 2016. Class-XII-B presented the morning assembly on Raksha bandhan Celebration by unfolding the story behind Raksha Bandhan . They depicted the story of Rani Karmavati and Emperor  Humayun. The story revealed the true essence of the festival of Raksha Bandhan.But in today’s scenario how it has been modernized was also revealed through a small skit.

The thought of the day was  Raksha Bandhan is not a festival which is to be celebrated only on a single day of the year rather it’s about a pledge the brother and sister take to protect and ensure happiness to each other  . The entire school experienced nostalgic moments when they saw the enthusiastic performance put up by the students. All in all, the celebration of this festival which signifies the beautiful family bond of trust and protection between a boy and a girl, helped the students to nurture a healthy relationship amongst all at school – which is indeed a home away from home.

Rev Br. Alex principal at St.Montfort school gave his warm wishes for the festival.
