Kindergarten students were excited to pair-up with their fathers, as they showcased the food prepared by them. The culinary range stretched from spicy food of southern India to savoury sweets of West Bengal, from typical saag roti of Punjab to Bhelpuri of Maharashtra, each and every presentation spoke volumes about India\u2019s diverse food platters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim was to educate students about the diversity in Indian culture. Cuisines differ across India\u2019s diverse regions as a result of variations in local culture, geographical locations. GIIS is an amalgamation of mini-India with students across geographies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the occasion Mr Rajiv Bansal, Director-Operations, GIobal Indian International School (GIIS), India said, <\/strong>\u201cThrough this competition, GIISians tried to share just a glimpse of what India has to offer in terms of its culinary art. Parents of GIIS Hadapsar have always been at the forefront of activities organized by the school and have played a vital role in helping us reach where we are now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reiterated that GIIS\u2019s award-winning Global Montessori Plus (GMP) programme helps young students to reach their full social, emotional, and intellectual potential. \u201cBy infusing the fundamentals of formal learning with the latest innovative learning tools, our teaching methodology offers abundant growth and development opportunities for our students,\u201d Mr Bansal said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual culinary competition was another initiative by the school that plans to foster skills in students that make them stand apart from the crowd. In near future, GIIS Pune plans to organize a series of events and activities like staff-sports challenge and virtual sports challenge for parents as part of the year-long celebrations for the 20th<\/sup> anniversary year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities have been planned across all the GIIS Campuses to commemorate this milestone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
