Mysuru, India, August 20, 2024

Purna Chetana Public School in Mysuru, guided by medical professionals, engineers, and entrepreneurs, celebrated its 11th anniversary with the “Purna Chetana World Records Festival 2024.” From July 6 to August 13, students and teachers set 14 world records, certified by Elite World Records, Asian Records Academy, and India Records Academy.

 

On August 4, 2024, 482 students from Purna Chetana Public School in Mysuru set a world record for the “Most Participants in a Multi-Genre Dance Performance at a Single Location in 2 Hours.” Showcasing 35 traditional dance forms from across India, the students from LKG to Class X wore authentic costumes, used carefully chosen props, and performed with expert choreography. The event celebrated India’s diverse cultural heritage, reflecting the school’s dedication to preserving traditions. The performance included mesmerizing dances from North Eastern states and special forms like Paika from Jharkhand and Kathok Chenmo from Ladakh and many more.

 

The students faced challenges, such as sourcing costumes, which led to school authorities creating new ones under the guidance of veteran costume designer Ramachandra ji. Choreography was designed by actor-director and alumnus Supreeth R Bharadwaj, alongside the school’s teachers.

A ballet honouring the sacrifice of Indian soldiers was a poignant highlight. It depicted the bravery and challenges faced by soldiers at the Kashmir border, emphasizing their ultimate sacrifice. The event, attended by a packed auditorium in Mysuru, marked a significant milestone in the school’s history and was a memorable day for the heritage city.

 

According to school CEO B. Darshan Raj, the motivation behind this world record was to help people appreciate India’s rich cultural heritage, particularly the unique traditions of the North Eastern states, known as the Seven Sister States. He stated, “Our students have once again demonstrated that Bharat is a land of diverse cultures, and we are all children of Maa Bharat Mata.”

 

Purna Chetana Public School celebrated a remarkable literary achievement on August 4, 2024, with the launch of “Paat Shaala – Jeevan Yatra”, a book featuring 189 non-fiction short stories written by 104 students. Lau Thien Poh, CEO for South Asia, and Ms. Toy Wan Ching from Singapore, representing Elite World Records, officiated the release. This accomplishment set a new world record for “Most Non-Fiction Short Stories Published by School Students in a Single Book”. The project showcased the students’ exceptional storytelling, critical thinking, and communication skills, honed through a rigorous evaluation process. This achievement has also paved the way for the school to be recognized as a model for innovative education, inspiring other institutions to follow suit.

 

On August 13, 2024, in celebration of the 78th Independence Day, Purna Chetana School set a world record with 501 participants creating the “Largest National Flag Made with Origami Balls.” This massive flag, measuring 96 square meters (12 meters by 8 meters), was completed in just 4 hours and 5 minutes using 96,000 origami balls made from recycled paper, meticulously prepared by students over 60 days. Additionally, 383 students from Grades III to X performed a remarkable 5-minute, 10-second sports drill, blindfolded and holding the national flag, showcasing unity and patriotism.
