Kartavya-the CSR club of IIM-Raipur and the Rotary Club of Raipur Cosmopolitan once again collaborated to organise ‘SHINE 2017-Cosmo Youth Festival’, an interschool competition, on Sunday, at Maharaja Agrasen International College, Raipur.
A mega platform was provided to the students of various schools in the city to exhibit their talent and show that learning is more than paper, pencils and books.
Over 1,500 students from 45 schools participated in various events like Group Discussion, Extempore, Short Story Writing, Quiz, Waste to Wealth, Open your Mind, Mathematical aptitude and many more.
The events were conducted in two sessions from 9 am to 6 pm. Throughout the year, students in their schools build their skills to prepare for the various competitions to be held in the penultimate term.
Students were divided into two groups- Middle and Senior- based on their class and the events were conducted accordingly. Students from 6th to 12th standard turned out in large numbers to participate in the events with exemplary rigor and enthusiasm.
The schools which participated were DPS, KPS, NH, RKC, Holy Hearts, Mother’s Pride, Radiant way and many more who came on the same platform to enjoy the flavour of diversity and competition.
