He explained how it all began, how he and his team started 2-3 stalls at aqua world and got very positive response from the visitors. During those times the conditions weren't right in the city due to widespread lawlessness, he said.
Shahdeo said that they never stopped believing in their dreams and from those days till now their dream has made it this big and has helped come this far. He infirmed that the carnival is a seven day event, where entertainment programmes are based on all age groups be it a child or adult everyone has something to enjoy .
Shahdeo said that the focus is not just on entertainment. “The programmes such as fashions show based on environment and tourism places work as a source of infotainment. There are nics and picks to inform the visitors about Ayushman Bharat scheme for the welfare of people,” he added.
Chief Guest Subidh Kumar emphasised on the role parents in the development of their children by saying that extra co-curricular activities are very necessary for their development. “If they work with fun then the output will be better. I request all the parents present here to not just promote them at their studies but also participate in their child's co-curricular activity this place has to offer.
Take part in painting, music and other competition this place has to offer,” he said.
FJCCI member Kunal Ajmani was exalted to see such an amazing arrangement and said, “It is a motivation to see the organising committee working to organise such a carnival at the centre of the city every year. There are very few places in the city where people can come with their family to enjoy and spend some time and feel safe at the same time. You get a feeling of belongingness when you come to this place,” he said.
