After the school girls sang the welcome song, Principal Bijaya Choudhury lauded the competence exhibited by the students in talent search exams conducted by the Government of Odisha.
Scrobe Badal kumar Tah, who joined as the chief guest, reminisced the adolescent days of Narendra Dutta alias Naren, who metamorphosed into Swamiji at a later stage.
He was inquisitive and started questioning existence of God and did not believe idol worship till he met Ramakrishna Paramahansa, which brought great changes in him, told Tah.
