In alignment with the nationwide Har Ghar Tiranga 2025 campaign, a Mega Rakhi Competition was organised with great zeal at Government Higher Secondary School, Nagri Parole. The event was held under the able leadership of Principal Sh. Jatinder Sethi, and in accordance with the directions issued by the Chief Education Office, Kathua . The competition witnessed enthusiastic participation from schools across the Nagri cluster, including Primary, Middle, and High Schools.
