The second day of the 63rd school arts festival concluded on a smooth note, with only minor delays reported from the venues. Among the competing districts, Kannur is leading, with Thrissur and Kozhikode placed in second and third spots respectively. The number of appeals were also less, according to the organisers. While events such as drama witnessed huge audience turnout, venues of traditional art forms such as chakyarkooth wore a deserted look.
According to General Education Minister V Sivankutty, most of the events scheduled to begin at 9.30am could begin well before 10am. Tagore Theatre, the venue of the drama competitions was packed with spectators. Nishagandhi Auditorium (Kabani), where tribal dance competitions were held also had good audience turnout.

The contestants portrayed the intensity of the natural calamity and the physical and mental agony it caused to the local people. A total of 14 contestants participated and all secured A grade.
