Vibrant cultural programme by Shishu Mela
Young participants at the programme.
The Dinajpur Shishu Academy (Children's Academy) organised a three-day 'Shishu Mela' at its complex in Dinajpur recently. The objective was to focus on school children's rights to better education and health care.
Mohammad Abdul Jalil, Deputy Commissioner of Dinajpur, inaugurated the festival as chief guest while Dilip Kumar Bonik, Additional Deputy Commissioner, was special guest at the programme.
Around 2,000 students from 30 schools in the district participated in the celebration, which combined fun with creativity. Among the high points of the Mela were traditional rural sports, quiz, art and cultural competitions. The cultural programmes included solo Tagore and Nazrul songs and a drama competition.
The organisers also screened short films on diverse subjects such as environment for the benefit of the assembled children.
On the concluding day, Dilip Kumar Bonik, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Dinajpur, thanked the parents and said that such programmes not only fuel the imagination of students but also inculcate discipline and harmony.
The chief guest handed over prizes to the lucky winners of the competitors. The curtains came down with a colourful cultural programme performed by the students, much to the delight of the audience.
