I was with the tableaux of the department of elementary education and literacy. Fifteen of my students are with me. We are conveying a message to urge people to send their children to school.
It took us a week to prepare. Since I am associated with elementary education for a long time, it was not difficult for me. I have been participating in Republic Day celebrations for a long time. But it is always challenging. The whole nation watches us. So we have to be very cautious. A lot of thinking is required. The excitement of participating in a national festival always keeps one going.
