Cultural Contest, First place in Quiz, First place in Firing by Cdt.
Pradnya Chari and Second place in Flag area. Besides this some of
the Xaverian cadets also donated blood.
The Annual Training Camp is to prepare students physically and
mentally, not only to attend future camps, like the Thel Seinik Camp,
Republic Day Camp, Youth Exchange Programs, etc., but also to gain
that discipline in life which moulds ones entire personality. The
basic idea behind this camp is to impart collective training, provide
students an opportunity to experience army life and inculcate in the
students a spirit of team work, enthusiasm and competition in order
to prepare themselves to live, work and die for their country.
