It may surprise everyone as to why students of a far-off school in Uttar Pradesh celebrated the “Meghalaya Statehood Day”.

The students showcased a glimpse of the “Abode of Clouds” through a unique informative presentation on the land and people of Meghalaya.
The unique endeavour of DPS Indirapuram to celebrate the 48th Meghalaya Statehood Day is sure to win every heart of the tribal people of Meghalaya.
And, people attending the “Meghalaya Day” celebration at DPS Indirapuram, were mesmerized to know about the living root-bridges, crystal clear lakes, limestone caves, cascading waterfalls and quaint villages of the beautiful state from northeast.
The matrilineal society of the Khasi, Jaintia and Garo tribal groups, indigenous tribal cuisines, traditional musical instruments and the dance forms motivated the audience to add Meghalaya to their bucket lists.
The “Meghalaya Day” celebration was part of the “Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat” program launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to promote the spirit of national integration.
