Hyderabad: Abhyasa International Residential School, renowned for its grand cultural performances, staged a Mega Theatre Play titled “Samvidhan@75” at Shilpa Kala Vedika on Friday. The event was part of the school’s annual function, Hemanth Utsav, marking the institution’s 28th year of excellence.
Highlights of the Event
- Keynote Address by Eatala Rajender, MP: Emphasizing values over grades, Rajender stated that students are not “marks-producing machines.” He urged educational institutions to focus on instilling human values, respect for relationships, and ancient Indian traditions in students.

“Samvidhan@75” – A 90-Minute Opera
The grand 90-minute opera featured all 400 students of Abhyasa, a rare and commendable feat. It traced India’s history from 5000 BCE to the present day, celebrating 75 years of the Indian Constitution and the Republic of India. The play examined India’s transformation through key historical epochs, including:
- The Golden Age of Bharata Varsha, where society thrived on righteous wealth and collective growth.
- The shift towards materialism and external influences due to invasions.
- A reflection on contemporary challenges, such as the obsession with studying abroad and the impact of western ideologies.
The opera conveyed a powerful message, urging Indian youth to build their future in India rather than seeking opportunities abroad. It implored them to embrace their heritage with pride and work towards making India a developed nation by 2047, when the country celebrates its 100th year of independence.
