Summary:
The students from Atomic Energy Central School at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu, who went on a month-long trip to Russia and Hungary to showcase their talent, feared that they would feel left out due to the language barrier. The play was part of the ‘Nuclear Kids’ programme, an international children’s creativity project organised annually by The Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation ‘Rosatom.’“Initially, I felt uncomfortable as there were many students who knew only Russian. I even taught a bit of Hindi and at the end of the trip, I made friends,” said Nischita.The three students, whose parents work in the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, were among 80 international students who performed the play in five cities. But the one thing that amazed us was their discipline and punctuality, which most of us, Indians, fail to follow,” said Pavithra.
