The Chief Guests performed Saraswati Puja for the notebooks, pens, slates, and chalk, which were later distributed to the children. In the traditional Aksharabhyasa ceremony, the children, guided by their parents, wrote "Om" (🕉) and the name of their family deity on rice and on the slates or notebooks provided.
