Aligned to the guidelines of the National Curriculum Framework of progressive learning, the Tagore Mahotsav will have essay writing, book review, powerpoint presentataion and video competitions to promote a better understanding of Tagore as a poet, novelists, playright, painter and musician. The objective is to instill in children the ability to think and articulate in a rational manner and create leaders of tomorrow.
