Himachal Dance

Jessie was able to attend one of the dance competitions at a nearby Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) school. The theme was dance from the northern region of Himachal Pradesh - taking its name from the Himalayas. It is bordered by Kashmir in the north, Punjab in the west, and China in the east.

Students practiced their dance routines, helped create and fit the costumes, and performed in the competition. Of course, KV Tirumalagiri took first place.

About the Exchange

"The Fulbright Program, the U.S. government's flagship program in international educational exchange, was proposed to the U.S. Congress
in 1945 by then freshman Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. In the aftermath of World War II, Senator Fulbright viewed the proposed program as a much-needed vehicle for promoting "mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries of the world." His vision was approved by Congress and the program signed into law by President Truman in 1946.


Fulbright grants are made to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries for a variety of educational activities, primarily university lecturing, advanced research, graduate study and teaching in elementary and secondary schools. Since the program’s inception, approximately 279,500 participants—chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential—with the opportunity to exchange ideas and to contribute to finding solutions to shared issues."
