The event commenced with the lighting of a lamp and the offering of a Khada to a portrait of Late Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the former President of India in whose honour Teacher's Day is celebrated nationwide.

Speeches were delivered by Miss Bipashna Dahal, the school captain; Shital Pradhan, Headmaster; Bhim Prasad Dahal, Senior Teacher; and the awardee himself, Karma Rinzing Bhutia.
