Balvatika Graduation Day
The first-ever Graduation Ceremony for the tiny tots of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Educare, Chromepet, who successfully completed their Balvatika III classes and are stepping into Class I from the next academic year, was celebrated in a grand and memorable manner. The day marked not only the culmination of one joyful journey but also the beginning of another, filled with promise and potential.
Held on 28th June 2026, the ceremony was graced by respected guests, faculty members, and proud parents. The atmosphere was vibrant with love, reverence, and celebration. The event was further elevated by the presence of Sri K. Senthil Kumar, Founder and Managing Director of Orbit Edutech Pvt. Ltd., Chennai, a renowned educationist who has guided numerous Principals of Engineering Colleges across India, as the Chief Guest.
The program commenced with the lighting of the lamp of love by the dignitaries, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and the ushering in of knowledge. Senior students then filled the hall with divine energy by chanting Vedic hymns. Following this, Ms. N. Vedhanayagi, Principal-in-charge, delivered the welcome address and shared a beautifully composed poem that captured the emotions and expressions of the children from the start of the year to its successful conclusion. The stage came alive with a kaleidoscope of colours and joy, as the children enthralled the audience with their captivating subject‑based and values‑based presentations
Correspondent Sri S. Loganathan addressed the gathering, emphasizing the importance of uttering “Sairam” as a reminder of divinity in daily life, and spoke about the value of selfless service as the true essence of education. He expressed gratitude to parents for their support in initiatives such as the subsidized education program and the Nithya Narayana Seva—the free noon meals scheme for primary children. He urged parents to continue their involvement to help the school progress to greater heights.
He highlighted the various service activities undertaken by the school for the non-teaching staff and shared how the institution extended its support to all staff members during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Chief Guest then delivered an inspiring speech, sharing personal experiences and observations about the school. He praised the holistic approach and spiritual foundation nurtured at SSSIE, remarking that while it may be easy to train engineering students, shaping the tender minds of kindergarten children requires extraordinary dedication. He lauded the teachers as the true pillars of the institution and expressed admiration for a school that runs not for profit but on the basis of human values. He highlighted that while schools often have temples, this school itself radiates the sanctity of a temple. He concluded with heartfelt wishes, expressing his desire to witness the graduation of these tiny tots once again when they complete their Class XII here.
The most awaited moment arrived when our little heroes walked through the assembly hall passage, dressed in ceremonial graduation gowns and hats, radiating joy and innocence. Each child proudly received their Graduation Certificate, marking the successful completion of Pre-Primary classes up to Balvatika III. The sight of their beaming faces filled the hearts of parents, teachers, and guests with pride and happiness.
A unique vote of thanks was delivered by Headmistress Mrs. K. Poongothai, whose creative “ABC song” highlighted the nature, kindness, and qualities of the graduating students in a delightful manner. The ceremony concluded in an atmosphere of joy, reverence, and celebration, leaving behind cherished memories. Mrs. Kirthika, PRT, gracefully compered the entire sequence of events. Assistant Headmistress Mrs. Vijayalakshmi, together with all the primary staff, coordinated to ensure the grand success of the program.
Parents enthusiastically captured joyful moments of their children at the specially arranged Graduation Day selfie point. It was truly a special day—a day of achievements, blessings, and new beginnings. The Graduation Day will forever remain etched in the hearts of the students, parents, and teachers as a milestone in the journey of education at SSSIE. Sairam.
