Trips, literature festivals, educative workshops and more marked the Children's Day in the city on Monday.
Several government departments took a break from their work to entertain students. The city police commissioner's office on Infantry Road was lively and colourful with balloons and buntings. Children's Fair, hosted by Commissioner N S Megharikh, had stalls selling sweets and chocolates. Children dressed up in traditional attire, played rural games and enjoyed folk art performances. A book titled 'Parihara' on the achievements of Children's Helpline by Additional Commissioner of Police (West) K S R Charan Reddy, was released on the occasion.
Students from Hombegowda Government School got to learn the history of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation at the central office in Shanthinagar. At the event hosted by the corporation, children explored a 1947 Sri Banashankari Bus, which once ferried devotees to the famous Banashankari Devi fair in Badami, Bagalkot district.
At the government school for boys in Attibele, children took a trip to the world of literature with 'Kathavana', a multilingual children's literature festival organised by Azim Premji University. Over 1,000 children and several writers and publishers took part in the festival, which had story-telling sessions and other activities.
Through role-play and interactive sessions, counsellors from Faith Foundation educated over 800 children on sexual abuse and the difference between good and the bad touch. The 'Masoom' initiative was organised in association with Young Indians (CII) Bangalore, Sankara Eye Hospital, Bangalore and Sarva Siksha Abhiyan.
SPARSH Foundation, the charitable wing of SPARSH Hospital, will give 200 children and 100 retired teachers with complex medical conditions a new beginning this Children's Day. Children under the age of 14 and retired teachers with problems such as cleft lip, spine deformities and clubbed feet will be operated for free. A team of specialists will complete 15 to 20 surgeries every day for the next three weeks. Over the past seven years, they have operated upon 1,500 children.
