Each cabinet member represented a different gemstone, symbolizing their distinct qualities, while the Class Representatives were named in the VIBGYOR order, reflecting the diversity and unity within the student body. This theme was further highlighted by a stunning PowerPoint presentation that illustrated the significance of each gemstone as the representatives took the stage.
