The sprawling campus of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada, turned into a children’s world on Saturday with children accompanied by their parents and teachers left no opportunity to showcase their talent in the district-level inter-school children’s festival ‘Kriya.’
The festival is being conducted on a grand scale for the third consecutive year by a city-based voluntary organisation ‘Kriya’ and over 5,000 children from different government and private schools in East Godavari district in several competitions on the first day of the two-day festival.
As the day was exclusively dedicated to the sub-juniors and juniors, children from the primary sections competed with each other in the events ranging from music to dance and verse recital to scientific experiments. The building blocks of the university have turned into mini auditoriums for the children, where they performed classical dance, folk dance, group dance, playlets and mono-action. The classrooms that witness serious teachings of mathematics and sciences have turned into platforms for events like verse-rendition, yoga, story telling and singing competitions.
The children converted the lawns into the perfect venues for competitions like drawling, clay modelling and science experiments.
