The event commenced with a warm welcome from Ms. Archana Shetye, Leadership training Incharge, followed by the traditional lighting of the lamp. Ms. Selza Lopes, Student Council in-charge, led the group in prayer and conducted an activity called 'Building Together.' This activity encouraged the students to work collaboratively and emphasized the importance of teamwork in leadership. Additionally, it facilitated a reflective session where the students pondered on the essential qualities required for good leadership.

Ms. Archana Shetye further provided clarity by explaining the specific areas of responsibility each leader held within the institution for various occasions and events. Ms. Reshma Mapari supported this discussion by outlining the specific, special, and general responsibilities of each leader, ensuring a clear understanding of their roles and duties.
