Bollywood songs, item numbers and folk music reverberated in the air today as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's wife Gursharan Kaur was given a warm welcome at a Gurudwara and Kendriya Vidyalaya here which was extended a grant of Rs two crore by the Indian government.The school children, including a Bangladeshi and an Iraqi girl, left the audience including Kaur mesmerised with their songs and dance sequences. Prime Minister's wife was seen tapping her feet and clapping softly, enjoying every moment of her over one and half hour stay.
A young child dressed in a traditional Punjabi red dress drew the attention of everyone with her beautiful facial expressions and her confidence. As they sang Bollywood song 'gun guna re', the audience went completely silent. And when they sang unjabi numbers 'Sadi gali bhi bhool ke aaya karo' and 'barsi barsi', the audience of largely 190 students and their parents, came alive with many of them clapping their hands in rhythm.
The school was started by the Gurdwara Management Committee under the aegis of Late Makhan Singh, who people say collected donations from door to door. "The Hinduja brothers also donated a big sum as donation for the construction of the school which was completed in the late 1960s," school principal Jugal Kishore said. He added that during the second half of the 20th century till the 1979 revolution here, the school used to have more than 350 students on its roll and was affiliated to Punjab University and later with CBSE.
After the revolution, many Indian families left Tehran and from about 350 Indian families, only just 60-65 families were left. Eventually, the school came under the control of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan in 2004. Though it was supposed to be a self-financing school, the Indian government had to step in with grants to keep the school floating since there were very less students.
The school which has produced 100 per cent results since last two years was also extended a grant of Rs 2 crore by Indian government which was announced during Kaur's visit.
