It does not usually happen that there are two successive ‘special’ days at Parivartan. Apparently, this October is an exception. After celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child last week, it was time again to commemorate the just concluded Dussehra on the 19th of this month. And Parivartan was going to do it in style – through games with coveted prizes for the children.

The volunteers for the day were Ankit Pal, Shaswat Sinha, Priyanshi Gupta, Anchal Omar, Nagesh Tiwari, Rahul Gupta, Shreya Acharya, Disha Saraswat, and Chhavi Chaudhary.

Hide Body Of News :

Dr. Indraneel Mandal began by explaining to the students the symbolic importance of Dusshera, which celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, the King of Lanka. When prodded by Dr Mandal, the children spoke of how it symbolized the ultimate victory of Good over Evil. Dr. Mandal referred to events in Lord Rama’s life to explain why it was important to be good, even though it is not always the easier option. The volunteers, led by Ankit, Shaswat, and Priyanshi conducted two games – Passing The Parcel and Musical Chairs. Three winners each were identified in both the games, with one group receiving a bat-ball set each as a prize, while each of the other group was presented with a toy pistol set.

Later Anchal held an impromptu quiz to test the knowledge of the children, both regarding the Ramayana and the previous day’s class. Those who answered correctly received a toffee.

The day ended with the distribution of Good Day Biscuits and Mango Bite Toffees among the children. Dr Indraneel Mandal accompanied and motivated the student volunteers. Prof. Lokesh Upreti planned the activity and guided the volunteers in the conduct of the programme as the faculty coordinator of CSR Club - Parivartan.
