Founders' Day Celebration 2015

Founders' Day was celebrated on 23rd September 2015 in "Anubhav - The Amphitheatre". On this day, birthdays of all the Founding Members of Abhyasa - Mr. Rangadas Kalletla, Mrs. Padmavati Kalletla and Mr. Vinaayaka Kalleetla is celebrated. The magnitude of the program had to be grand, given the celebrations of three birthdays together. The entire school campus was decorated with lights. Not a single tree or a plant was left out. The path starting from the Amphitheatre entrance to the stage was lit with lights. The stage was well decorated with balloons and cut-outs.

The Founders were received right from the toll gate on the National Highway by a group of Motorists and were led in a Motorcade consisting of 12 bikes and a car till the School Gate. At the school gate they were given a grand and traditional welcome with nadaswaram, vedic chanting and blowing of conch shells. They were then seated on a big chariot drawn by 2 horses and were taken in a procession till the school temple. The procession was led by a student carrying Poorna-kumbham, followed by vedic chanting, dandiya dance, School Band and nadaswaram followed by the Chariot. After a brief stop at the school temple the procession again started to the amphitheatre - the venue for the celebrations. The celebrations started with an invocation song and a dance. Later some group songs and dances were performed. The Advisor of the school Mrs. P.L.N. Murthy then presented a power-point presentation depicting the various avatars of our respected CEO & Founder Director, Mr. Vinaayaka Kalleetla viz. as a son like Rama, a disciple like Eklavya, a Dhyanayogi like Vivekananda, a Philanthropist, a movie Director, a music Lover, an Artist, a Sculpture, a dancer, a chef, a Vanamali - garden lover etc.

CEO & Founder Director, Mr. Vinaayaka Kalleetla then did padapuja to his parents by washing and offering flowers at their feet. He garlanded and gave away gifts to them. He then did puja to Mrs. & Mr. Murthy and gave away gifts to them. The Governing Body Members of the school Prof. A.S. Shastry and Dr. B.V. Pattabhiram then blessed Mr. Vinaayaka Kalleetla. A staff and student of Abhyasa later washed the Founder Director's feet and took blessings from him. Harathi was given to all the Founder Members by the female staff of Abhyasa. 3 big cakes were made for the Founders to cut and celebrate. The Founder Director was fed a piece of cake by his parents and vice versa. He then gave a piece of cake to a few staffs and students who were present on the stage. The staff presented to the Founder Director with a birthday card and a gift. Then students of different classes also presented him cards and gifts. A lavish dinner was arranged for the Founders, their invitees and Governing Body Members in the Playpen whereas for staff and students it was arranged in the school dining hall.

After the dinner it was time for the felicitation of the winners in Horlicks Wizkid 2015 and AP & Telangana Regional Sports 2015. It was a nostalgic moment for all the achievers to be felicitated and being given so much of honor and gave other students motivation to out-perform themselves in the coming years so that they too get a chance to go on the stage and get the honor.

Later 9th Graders released their batch name in style and chose to be known as 'Amandans'.

Thus the evening ended with sweet memories for all.
