The session for the day was opened by Prof. Lokesh Upreti as he tried to make the children aware about the current hazards of pollution. He explained to the learners the difference between fog and smog, pointing out why the latter was more dangerous. Interestingly, the children were aware of many of these topics, including the burning of crop stubs by the farmers.

Then it was time for the new teacher of the day Prabhanshu to take over. He expertly handled the class as he familiarised the kids with common GK concepts.

At last it was time for the game of the day. The volunteers had designed a game where the children were divided into groups of six. Each group was assigned a topic. The members of each group were required to run up and write one word each relating to the topic given. They were to avoid spelling mistakes and repetitions. The more the number of correct words, the higher the points. Thus the game was a test of English vocabulary, along with team building and presence of mind. The final winners consisted of three boys and three girls. Each of the boys received an I.T.S Cap while the girls were given a TT set each. The smallest children had been engaged separately by Mansi, and were provided with packets of Krax Curls.

With the day’s programme coming to an end, Butter Bite Biscuits and Coffee Bite toffees were distributed among the children. Prof. Lokesh Upreti planned and guided the volunteers in the conduct of the programme as the faculty coordinator of CSR Club - Parivartan.
