A district-level Kala Utsav was organised by the District Education Office (DEO) at the Maharaja Boys High School here on Friday.
Chief guest DEO Sanjib Kumar Singh inaugurated the event. With a topic on ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ and a theme on ‘living Tradition of Arts’, the cultural carnival featured competition on music, dance, theatre and visual arts.
Students from various schools of different blocks participated in the competitions. Winners of the contests will participate in another district-level competition to be held soon.
The DEO said Gajapati has large numbers of skilled students and the event is a great opportunity for them to prove themselves. “Every individual has its unique abilities; they need to identify their own kills and talents,” Singh added.
Among others, Block Education Officer (BEO) Thakur Kumar Singh and Rajesh Swain and Sathmika Patnaik were present.
