यावेळी क्रीडा व कला क्षेत्रातील विद्यार्थ्यांचा गौरव करण्यात आला. जिल्हास्तरीय सुब्रतो मुखर्जी फुटबॉल स्पर्धेत १५ वर्षांखालील मुलांच्या गटात प्रथम क्रमांक मिळविणाऱ्या विद्यार्थ्यांचा तसेच १७ वर्षांखालील मुलींच्या गटातील यशस्वी विद्यार्थिनींचा सत्कार करण्यात आला. श्री. आकाश जाधव यांचा ‘बेस्ट कला शिक्षक’ तर नव कृष्णा व्हॅली स्कूलचा ‘बेस्ट स्कूल’ म्हणून गौरव करण्यात आला.
