Hindi is the official language in India. 40% of the population speak the language. In an endeavour to create awareness and showcase the  talent of the students of Grades I – X who have opted for Hindi as their II Language, Orchids  - The International School celebrated ‘Hindi Diwas’ on 12-9-14.

The programme began with a welcome dance by the students of the senior classes.  It was followed by a rendition of a song in which the importance of Hindi as a language was expressed.  The numbers 1-10 were creatively displayed by the junior students through a dance. There was a unique PowerPoint presentation highlighting the significance and relevance of the language.  The event was concluded with a hilarious skit that was presented by the students of Grades IX and X. The audience enjoyed the programme thoroughly.  Our Principal, Mr.C. Srikanth, appreciated the efforts of the teachers – Mrs Swati Saxena, Mrs Ratna Devi and Mr Shyam Kumar in making the programme successful.
