The theme for the same was “Earth without Light” which was meant to teach everyone that without sunlight, it would be completely dark on earth and we owe our daylight to the fact that every square meter of the sun shines brighter than a million light bulbs.

Also, the existence of light has the biggest impact on the earth and it keeps the earth with life. Students from different schools and photography clubs participated in the competition organized on MS Teams for which students were asked to capture photographs using DSLR or mobile phones inside a darkroom without using any artificial lighting.
