Faculty members delivered short speeches and participated in recitations, reflecting on the cultural and emotional value of language in shaping identity and heritage.

The students participated with remarkable enthusiasm, confidence, and joy, making the event vibrant and engaging.

The programme fostered a warm, inclusive, and celebratory atmosphere, where language became a medium of connection and shared cultural expression. The wholehearted participation of the students made the event both meaningful and memorable.
