It has been a fantastic journey over the past decade, and we’re excited to see how our participants will mark this milestone with their outstanding performances.”
It is worth mentioning that Modern English School Kahilipara has also been organizing inter-school drama competitions for the last decade by inviting the schools of the Guwahati area, which has created an atmosphere of drama culture in itself. Besides limiting this effort to it, the school, in collaboration with various schools in Guwahati, has already organized drama workshops in several schools with the help of trained instructors from the National School of Drama, Delhi.
For the overall development of the students mentioned in the New Education Policy, it is necessary to introduce them to all aspects of education, like the art of drama, right from an early stage. Through the inter-school drama competition, prominent actors like Mridula Barua, Nilu Chakrabarti, Bhagirathi, Nayan Prasad, Rabijita Gogoi, Sanjib Hazarika, Arun Hazarika, Chetana Das have been felicitated by the school in the past.
