Narottam Nagar, Dec 19: The Annual Prize Giving Ceremony of Ramakrishna Mission School, Narottam Nagar, was held with great solemnity and enthusiasm on Friday, at the school premises. The occasion brought together revered monks of the Ramakrishna Order, distinguished guests, teachers, students, parents, and well-wishers, creating an atmosphere of inspiration and celebration.
Tirap Deputy Commissioner, Liyi Bagra who attended the function as the Chief Guest, recalled his own formative years as a student of Ramakrishna Mission, Aalo. He expressed deep gratitude to the institution for shaping his values and outlook. Addressing the students, Bagra urged them to broaden their vision and cultivate a strong sense of national identity. He advised them first to identify themselves as Indians, then as Arunachalis, and finally as members of their local communities, stressing that such a perspective would foster unity, discipline and a sense of responsibility towards nation-building. He called upon the students to imbibe the spirit of service and strive to become responsible citizens contributing positively to society.
The programme was presided over by Swami Jnanavratanandaji Maharaj, Treasurer of the worldwide Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. In his inspiring presidential address, he highlighted Swami Vivekananda’s timeless message to the youth — “Love India” and “Have faith in yourself.” Quoting Swamiji’s stirring words that the youth are “sons of immortality”, he exhorted the students to develop self-confidence, strong character, and dedication, reminding them that inner strength and moral values are essential for meaningful service to society and the nation.
Swami Achyuteshananda, Secretary of the institution, warmly welcomed the gathering and expressed heartfelt gratitude to Shri Liyi Bagara for kindly accepting the invitation to be the Chief Guest despite his busy schedule. On this occasion, the dignitaries formally released Narottam, the Annual Magazine of the school, reflecting the creative, academic, and cultural talents of the students.
Swami Jneyananda, Principal of the school, presented the annual report, highlighting the academic achievements, co-curricular activities and service initiatives of the institution during the year, all rooted in value-based education inspired by the ideals of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda.
Swami Ritapathananda, Vice-Principal, proposed the vote of thanks. The ceremony’s highlight was the distribution of academic and sports prizes and awards to meritorious students and staff members. The programme was enriched by the melodious songs rendered by students and the distribution of refreshments, marking a joyful and memorable end to the celebration.
