So now I'd like to give the time to Ms. Rosette Tepp to give the welcome note. Good afternoon everyone, I hope I am audible to you all. Okay, thank you so much for being here with us today. We are indeed very pleased to have you all for the event launch of the Renaissance Click Admiura. Renaissance Click was originally initiated in 2013, which promotes a healthy spirit of competition and excellence. And today marks the seventh year of the launch of the Renaissance Click and we are so proud to be able to host it today to a digital platform and share these moments with you all. So and we also feel that your patience will help us all to unite and the energy we create is what we allow us to achieve our individual as well as group codes. And we need you as much as you need us and that is why we are so grateful to have you joining us for this event. During the next few months, we will be learning about the different initiatives through our planned activities, webinars and special events where you will be able to join in and get hands-on experiences. And I hope this will help you grow to be more productive and smart as well. Before we get started with the event, I would especially like to take this time and thank the department, teachers, students who have generously put their inputs in making this event come together to become a success. And I also express my sincere appreciation to Serenjan for his valuable time in preparing the event meticulously. Of course, we couldn't have done it without you. So thank you so much, everyone, and thank you for this time. I am really looking forward for your participation and your contribution ahead. Please have fun and enjoy the department first. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Ms. Rosie for the one welcome. Now I'd like to call ma'am Kahora Leng for the integration of the Renaissance Click at Mayura. Ma'am, you can take the time. Thank you, Yavisa. I hope I'm audible and you can hear me. As Ms. Rosie that has mentioned, this Renaissance Click was first started in the year 2013. And so let me just take a few minutes to reminisce a little bit about what we did all through these years before I inaugurate the fest. Here on the screen you can see that's the banner that we had for the first Renaissance this and this banner was made by our students themselves. We had started this fest with the objective to provide a platform to the students, especially to the English-honored students to expose their talents and work as a team and compete with each other in a healthy environment. And you can see here, this is the enactment of the drama here and then you can go ahead and you can just go through a little bit of some of the pictures through the years of the debate as your writing competition, piece painting, 12 minutes to paint, so drama enactment and all this everything were included in the Renaissance Click. And as the years went by, more items were included in the fest also. And this year I believe there will be a lot of changes, especially because of this pandemic also and this for the first time is going to be held online and I believe it's going to be really exciting. In the last few Renaissance, we had had some really wonderful performances, especially when it came to this 12 minutes to paint, that was something like so exciting where the whole class performed for 12 minutes different items and they competed with different classes. And since it was a competition with different classes, it was so exciting the way the students prepared for this Renaissance and I believe the English students, they looked forward to for the Renaissance every year. And we had also had some really good essays in these competitions, which were published in Degree of Thought also. And even caption writing was something that was so exciting because we used to have some really interesting captions, you know, some were really humorous, some were very witty and so it was something that we really looked forward to. In the last few years that we had had this Renaissance Click, normally we have it on a particular date and or sometimes we'll have the essay competition, the caption writing competition before that particular date and on the main day, the rest of the items used to have it in that manner but this year, I believe it's going to be stretched across the months and there are going to be more items added to it also and as I looked at your program, it looks like it's going to be really interesting this year because it's going to be into college and so I hope that people will take this opportunity and make use of this opportunity to explore yourself and to expose your talent also and learn new things and this is a platform where, you know, we really encourage you to work as a team because there's a class-wise competition and at the end the class which scores the highest mark is declared as the winner of the year, the class of the year. Okay, so I'll encourage all of you to take part in this competition, encourages each other, help each other and learn new things and I hope and I believe that this experience will be a really wonderful experience especially for the first semester students for whom this will be the first Renaissance click. As for the seniors, you guys have already had the Renaissance click last year also you have an idea of how it is conducted so I believe all of you will enjoy this Renaissance click, you'll learn new things and you will in the process I hope it will be really beneficial to all of you and I also I'm really glad to see, you know, the way the department has worked through it. I congratulate the teachers of the department, the students of the department for coming up with such wonderful ideas and this year it seems to be really interesting and I wish you all the best to have a wonderful Renaissance click and so with this let me go ahead and launch the Renaissance click. So now I declare the Renaissance click at Mayura 2020 open. Thank you, all the best. Thank you ma'am. Now let's get to know about some of the events which the department is set to conduct.
