The event began with deepa prajwalan, prarthane, nada geethe, and the beloved NKS song, followed by school reports, cultural showcases, and heartfelt performances from all our shaales across Europe.🥳

We were honoured to have parents share their feedback about their shaale experience — their words truly reflected the heart of our community.

A special moment of the day was the presence of our esteemed Saale Advisory board members who joined us online:
