The Musical Evening commenced with Ganesha Stuti. The fifth class student Vanshika mesmerized the show by her stunning presentation.
She sung two Bollywood songs- Ae dil tujhe kasam hai tu himmat nah arna of 1949 hit film Dulari and tum apna ranj-o- ghum-apni paraeshani mujhe de do of 1964 film shagoon, originally sung by Jagjit Kaur. While she won the hearts of everyone, Prem Gupta, former IGP could not resist announcing & presenting his personal cash award of Rs 2000/- as a token appreciation.
Ridhima Bajpai and Kashish, two budding artists too captivated the audience of senior citizens by their songs.

Both artists showed their impressive talent while singing these songs.
One of the mesmerizing songs of seventies, associated with Bollywood’s veteran Manoj Kumar of film Purab aur Pachhim ( 1970 hit film), Hai Preet Jahan Ki Reet Sada Mai Geet Wahan Ke Gaata Hoon Bharat Ka Rehne Wala Hoon Bharat Ki Baat Sunata Hoon was the befitting finale of the musical evening.
