Life at Bhavans
The order of the assembly goes as follows:

The entire assembly is compered by the children of a particular class, who are in-charge of putting up the congress. Since the assembly has an array of programs, almost 10 –12 children are on the dias for each assembly.

The written expressions have to be put into the power word carton by the children. At the end of the week, the carton is opened and the child who has used the word in the maximum ways in the right grammatical ways is bestowed with a laurel.

It would be related to any field which enhances human finesse and adds on to their cultural diversity.

Identified students would get accolades in the assembly for other students to get motivated and vie for the same
