The celebration commenced with a symbolic gesture where girls tied Rakhi on the wrists of the boys, followed by the tying of Rakhi to the statue of Swami Vivekananda , signifying the bond of protection and the values that he stood for. Class VII students then took the tradition beyond the school premises by visiting the Raj Gharali Tea Estate, where they tied Rakhis to the workers, expressing their gratitude and respect. Simultaneously, another group of students visited the NEEPCO office and the hospital, extending the Raksha Bandhan celebration to staff members and healthcare workers, acknowledging their dedication and service to the community.

Students from classes Balvatika I to X actively participated in crafting handmade Rakhis using decorative threads, stars, mirrors, pearls, and flowers. These beautifully crafted Rakhis were later exchanged among peers while chanting the ‘Raksha Sutra Mantra,’ a prayer for protection and well-being.
