A Presidential Surprise: Droupadi Murmu's Heartwarming Gesture

President Droupadi Murmu delivered an unexpected surprise to a group of students from Varkala Model Higher Secondary School on Thursday, as her convoy came to an unexpected stop. The President, en route to the Sivagiri Mutt to inaugurate Sree Narayana Guru’s Mahasamadhi centenary, took time to engage with the gathered students.

The students and their teachers had congregated by the roadside, hoping for just a glimpse of the President, but were met with so much more. Murmu exited her vehicle, offering warm greetings and accepting marigold flowers cultivated by the students in their school garden. The students were thrilled by this rare encounter, and their elation was evident.

A video capturing this moment quickly gained traction on social media. The school’s headmaster described the encounter as 'unforgettable,' while Liyons, the School Staff Secretary, expressed joy at the opportunity to meet high-profile dignitaries, including the President. The brief meeting, which lasted about five minutes, left a lasting impression on the students and their teachers.
