Ponda's Almeida school students exhibit their art

GVM's A J de Almeida School in Ponda has organised an art exhibition. All the art works are by the school students. The exhibition was inaugurated by artiste Nagesh Sardesai on Friday and will remain open for public till 2nd March.

Founed by Dr. Dada Vaidya, Sitaram Kerkar and Vinayak Sarjyotishi, Goa Vidyaprasarak Mandal's first institution, A.J. de Almeida High School was named after  António José de Almeida, a Portuguese republican statesman during  Portugal's rule in Goa.

During the campaign against Portuguese colonial rule, the Goa Vidyaprasarak Mandal and A.J. de Almeida High School were centres of nationalist activities and thus have a long list of freedom fighters as their alumni.
