To commemorate the anniversary, schools held a range of activities, including Olympic-themed awareness classes, drawing contests, and a variety of sporting events. Students avidly engaged in athletics, football, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, chess, and other activities.
The celebrations provided an open forum for pupils to demonstrate their abilities while also promoting togetherness, discipline, and national pride. The lively engagement across schools demonstrated a rising interest in athletics and emphasized the importance of collaboration and fair play.
