Annual Day Celebrations

Home

An annual concert is conducted at MMV every year with great pomp and enthusiasm. At Mukul Madhav Vidyalaya, we have always focused on an all-round development of the students. These events motivates children to step up and showcase their talents in front of dignitaries and their own parents. It also helps them overcome stage fright and pave the way for public speaking or stage performances.

The concert is spread over 5 days of various themes wherein students get a chance to think, step forward, and showcase their skills. These events are colourful and unique in their own way and inculcates teamwork, drama, dances, songs, and science exhibitions in the mix.
