The celebrations started at 8:45 am and like every other year, Global Indian International School (GIIS) Tokyo students were invited to take part in the event. The flag-hoisting ceremony and the event were chaired by the Honourable Ambassador of India to Japan, Mr. Sujan R. Chinoy.

The students of GIIS Tokyo Campus performed brilliantly and were greeted and applauded by the H.E. Mr. Sujan R. Chinoy, himself.
