Hyderabad : City’s Rockwell International School celebrated its Second Annual Day with great pomp and fervor. On the occasion of its annual day, the school presented the Guru Shishya Parampara Award which is given to the most deserving and inspiring Guru-Shishya duo in different fields every year. For this year the award was presented Padmashri Dr. Sobha Naidu, Principal, Kuchipudi Art Academy and Shishya Ms. Usha Vinod, Kuchipudi Dancer & Teacher in a function held on Friday at Shilpakala Vedika, Madhapur.
