    the wonderful quiz programme with 1000 + participants, grand show, great prize.. but the teachers who accompanied the students, who motivated the students to participate were asked to sit outside and some were standing and waiting till their students to comeout. shown more care for the organisation of the show but not for the students and not at all for the teachers.
