An interesting aspect of the day’s celebrations was that the children created their own slogans in support of the girl child. Speaking of slogans, Beti Bachao Beti Padao was again under the microscope – while importance of the second part was not lost on the children, they were not so sure about the first part viz., Beti Bachao. Most could figure out what the girl child had to be protected from. Some thought they needed protection from the boys; others were aware of the dangers to which girls were exposed. One enterprising child, however, managed to hit the hammer on the nail – the occurrence of female foeticide.

In the next part of the programme, Jhalak, Samina, Anu, Radhika and Anchal each spoke about female icons and achievers from our nation – Indira Gandhi, P.T. Usha, Kalpana Chawla, Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, and others. A quiz was held at the end to evaluate the children’s understanding.

The occasion was graced by two special invitees – Ms. Babita Papnai and Ms. Karuna Rawat – primary school teachers from nearby areas. They enlightened the children through a session on ‘Good Touch and Bad Touch’. It was a very interesting interaction that turned out to be an eye opener for the children.

In the final session of the day children were randomly selected to come forward and give extempore speeches on the topic ‘My Mother’. The session was judged by Director Sir and the top three speakers were selected by him. Together with the three winners from the earlier quiz session, they received Cadbury’s Celebration Packs as prizes.

At last the day came to an end with the distribution of Britannia Butter bite Biscuits and Mango Bite Toffees among the children. There was a photo session with the Director Management sir of the prize winners and the volunteers.
