Awareness session : Later chief guest Akula Subbanna ,Yeluru Venganna and Singamaneni Narayana counseled parents regarding importance of education and requested parents to send students to school and not to work. Many Parents busted into tears and promised that they will give 100% effort and support for their children Education. After hearing to them I strongly believe that this meeting has created great impact and acted like a catalyst in increasing their desperation towards their kids education.
Post Lunch we have conducted games (running, skipping, balloon bursting, musical chair) and distributed prizes to students. Along with this we have given mementos to students who won first mark in quarterly exams.
And at end of Event we have distributed note books , stationeries , chocolates to students . Children were very happy and enjoyed fun; few conveyed their hearty thanks for support.
