The students of Braj Gopika Vidyamandal in Nandgaon recently joined the Gita Fest 2018. The competition was organized by the Akshaya Patra Foundation in Vrindavan last Saturday, 15th of December.
There were 27 schools who participated the Bhagavad Gita competition and forty-eight students from Braj Gopika Vidyamandal competed. Four students from Nandgaon Gurukula secured the 3rd position on the recitation of Gita verses with translation for 3rd-4th Class Category.

That was the first time for the Nandgaon Gurukula students to join in a competition and they really did it well. We would like to congratulate the Gurukula girls for their excellent performances.
