C.K. Rasak The School Arts Festival is an opportunity for talented students to truly express themselves. It should be a celebration of creativity rather than a competition. Results shouldn’t matter. Judgements are often subjective and influenced by personal preferences. What is that you are making your presence felt and sharing your art with the world.” –K. Satchidanandan , Kerala Sahitya Akademi President A huge team of teachers and non-teaching staff from the General Education Department is working tirelessly behind this grand festival. Their commitment and selfless effort have made it possible. What we witness on stage is the culmination of long, dedicated efforts and seamless coordination from students and teachers. The wholehearted cooperation of the people has turned this into a true people’s festival.” — C.K. Rasak, SNMHSS, Chazhur, media convenor of the festival.
