Like the roots of a tree, grandparents hold families together. Their role in the family is integral and irreplaceable.
Pratah Stuti is held annually at The Indian School on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti as a tribute to grandparents and the invaluable role they play in shaping young lives.
Given the Covid protocol this year, Pratah Stuti was conducted online on Saturday, 2 October 2021, at 9 am. Almost 300 grandparents gathered virtually to celebrate the occasion.
The welcome speech by Savitri, a class 1 student, preceded an address by Principal, Ms Tania Joshi.
