The program started at 4.00 p.m. in the evening with prayer and the lighting of the Diya by the special guests. Students of both ICSE and CBSE delivered a strong message through a musical drama "The day Internet died" in two parts.

After three hours of grand performance by the students, the program ended with the grand finale and National Anthem. The entire program was indeed a treat to the eye. The Journey that began one fine day way back in the month of September finally came to a grand end on 19th December. It was the unending hard work, collaboration and the team spirit of all the teachers and the students, that made this dream of annual day extravanza into a reality.
