Slow Food Movement

A Cook-off challenge was held on the 21^st of January, 2020 for the students of class VIII as part of the BRITISH COUNCIL International School Award Project under the theme “Slow Food – A step towards preserving indigenous cuisine”. The students displayed promising culinary skills and prepared a variety of indigenous dishes. The guest judge for the event was Chef Joel Basumatari who is the founder of Slow Food Community Nagaland for Biodiversity and Heritage Preservation. He also addressed the senior school assembly and gave an interesting presentation on Slow Food. The competition was also adjudged by our Principal Mrs. Suparna Roychoudhury and Mrs. Caroline, Head of Boarding. Each group consisted of three students and there were a total of ten groups. The participants were given one hour to prepare and present their dishes. The competition area was enveloped in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and dynamism once the competition began.
