“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.” — Rabindranath Tagore
P.B. Academic School paid heartfelt tribute to the bard of Bengal, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, on the auspicious occasion of Rabindra Jayanti on 9th May 2025. The day began with a meaningful cinematic experience as students from Classes 1 to 5 watched short films based on Tagore’s timeless stories, giving them a glimpse into the poet’s profound narratives and humanistic themes.
The cultural celebrations commenced soon after with a soulful choir performance. Students rendered Tagore's songs in both Bengali and English, filling the air with lyrical harmony and reverence. The highlight of the day was the eagerly awaited Inter-House Bengali Elocution Competition, where students expressed the power and grace of Tagore’s words with eloquence and passion.
Adding grandeur to the celebration, the four school houses staged mesmerising dance dramas based on Tagore’s iconic works—Chitrangada, Chandalika, Pujarini, and Balmiki Pratibha. With elaborate costumes, evocative songs, and expressive choreography, each performance brought alive the spirit and message of the original compositions. Gandhi House captivated the audience and judges alike with their powerful portrayal of Chandalika, securing the first position. Subhash House claimed the second spot with a graceful performance of Chitrangada, followed by Teresa House and Tagore House.
The celebration was a vibrant reflection of Tagore’s artistic legacy and the students’ deep-rooted connection to his vision of education, creativity, and humanity.
