CBSE Board has always been advocating all-round development of personality of students through holistic education. Recently introduced scheme of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation demands equal attention to co-scholastic activities such as Music, dance, fine-arts and life-skills etc in addition to achievement of students in scholastic domain. Providing opportunity to students to develop and nurture their innate creative talent and skills is an essential responsibility of the school. Active participation in performing arts and fine arts activities certainly help the students develop greater aesthetic sensibilities and self-fulfillment. In a fast changing technology centred society which is characterized by mechanical and programmed life-styles, it is crucial to strengthen the cultural roots by creating awareness, promoting, popularizing and preserving national heritage. This is likely to make the lives of individuals more enriching, fulfilling and self-satisfying. The easiest way is to encourage the youngsters to develop an interest and taste in classical music, dance, folk forms, theatre, workshops, yoga and meditation etc.
