| Annual
Sports Meet |
| The
students at CIRS are divided into 4 Houses - Vasistha,
Vyasa, Valmiki and Vishwamitra. The 4 Houses compete in
a sports meet each year. This is called Khel Mela and
the atmosphere at CIRS during this event is energetic
and wonderful! Khel Mela normally takes place in February
at CIRS. Parents are invited to join in with parents vs.
students Cricket matches and parents vs. teachers Volleyball
matches. Other enjoyable activities include spoon races
and sack races, amongst others.

Meetings |
| Apart
from being in touch with each other, ex-students of CIRS
also like to re-visit their school. So Alumni Meetings
are held at the school. During these events, ex-students
get a chance to reunite with their old teachers and fellow
students and also to meet the new students. Click

| "Today
belongs to us. Yesterday was. Tomorrow will be. Every
day is bursting with opportunities for us to do and to
serve, to act and to express, to love and to live. We
must make use of these lush chances and diligently make
our life rich, fruitful and useful for others at all times."
