Tradition Dances with Grit
Before the first whistle blew, culture took the stage. Folk beats of “Mora Chotanagpur” reverberated through the air, while a powerful group performance on “Mushkilon se ye mauka mila…” became more than just a song – it became a battle cry. Amid a cascade of drums and synchronised footsteps, the message was clear: these girls are here to conquer, not just compete. As the CBSE and MGM flags soared skyward, followed by a thunderous March Past and the Athlete’s Oath, the audience wasn’t just witnessing tradition—they were breathing it.
The Voice of Experience, the Heart of Youth
Chief Guest Shri Prakash Kumar, reminiscing about his own school days, said, “It feels like I’ve returned home. Teamwork and leadership born on these fields shape lives beyond them.” Fr. Dr. Joshi Varghese, Principal of MGM, reminded athletes that true sportsmanship lies not in the scoreboard, but in discipline, character, and grace under pressure.
