Hansi (Dinkar Gawri):- Sahil Bhayana, son of MLA Vinod Bhayana, inaugurated Hansi district’s first district-level Children’s Festival by lighting the ceremonial lamp. At the inauguration, District Child Welfare Officer Om Prakash honoured chief guest Sahil Bhayana and CTM Himanshu Chauhan by presenting them with traditional turbans.

The Children’s Festival, being held at the District Child Welfare Council premises until October 31, has witnessed enthusiastic participation from students of various schools in the region. So far, around 500 students have registered to participate in different competitions. Several competitions are being organised to encourage children’s interests, creativity, artistic skills and self-confidence. These include group dance, clay modelling, card making, solo dance, handwriting and Best Dramebaaz competitions.

Chief guest Sahil Bhayana said that the Children’s Festival is an important platform for identifying and nurturing children’s talents. Every child possesses some special talent that can be developed in the right direction with proper opportunities and encouragement. Such events give children a chance to showcase their art, creativity and skills. He said children should participate in cultural, artistic and other creative activities along with their studies. Participation in competitions develops self-confidence, discipline, mutual cooperation and a spirit of healthy competition. Encouraging the students, he said that winning is not the only important thing; participating with enthusiasm and hard work is also an achievement in itself. He congratulated the organisers on the initiative and said that programmes like the Children’s Festival play an important role in the all-round development of children.

On the occasion, CTM Himanshu Chauhan said that visiting Bal Bhawan gave him a sense of belonging and that the atmosphere brought back memories of his childhood. He shared childhood memories with the students and advised them to work hard with discipline to achieve success in life. He said that achieving goals requires continuous effort, effective use of time and dedication to one’s work. Children should participate in activities according to their interests and try to learn something new from every opportunity. He described the Children’s Festival as a platform that allows children to showcase their talents and inspires them to progress.

District Child Welfare Officer Om Prakash said that the competitions being organised as part of the festival provide children with opportunities to advance. Winners of district-level competitions will participate in divisional-level competitions. However, winners of designated competitions such as fancy dress, clay modelling, diya and candle decoration, card making, speech, thali decoration, kalash decoration, fun games, handwriting, rangoli and Best Dramebaaz will get the opportunity to participate directly in state-level competitions.

He said that schools were witnessing considerable enthusiasm among students for the district-level Children’s Festival. The registration of around 500 students indicated that children were eager to showcase their talents. He urged students to participate in the competitions with confidence and sportsmanship and to respect the talents of other participants.

The District Child Welfare Officer further informed that winners who perform exceptionally well in various competitions would be honoured at the district-level Children’s Day समारोह to be held on November 14. Their achievements would be recognised and they would be encouraged to continue developing their talents. He said the aim of the Children’s Festival was to provide children with a positive platform where they could showcase their abilities, learn new things and discover their potential.
