Kidzee organises annual function

The annual function of Kidzee School in Patna's Mahendru area on Thursday helped showcase the dancing skills of tiny tots studying at the institution.

Organised at the Shrikrishna Science Centre, the annual day function started with a welcome dance to the Ganesh Vandana performed by the senior and junior kindergarten students. Later, the kids of the school moved on to different dance acts and a surprise paper dance competition.

Thunderous applause followed each performance.

While awarding the students, Patna University faculty member Ramesh Chandra Sinha - the chief guest of the function - said: "I am happy to see the children and their parents interested in cultural activities. I congratulate all of them for their hard work in making the function successful."

Kidzee School principal Deepika Chaturvedi also exhibited her singing chords at the event as she performed a devotional song.

Veterinary college event

The Bihar Veterinary College organised a seminar on the Role of veterinary education in the uplift of economy on Thursday as part of its 88th foundation day celebrations.

Dr KML Pathak, the deputy director-general of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), and chief guest at the programme lit the inauguration lamp with guest of honour H.R. Mishra, the vice-chancellor of Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, and Allauddin Ahmed, the former deputy director-general of ICAR.

Mani Kant Choudhary, the veterinary college principal, highlighted the institution's achievements and said: "We are providing our students every facility and technical equipment to ensure they become successful veterinarians."

Autism awareness

One hundred and odd autistic children and their parents walked 5km from PC Colony in Kankerbagh to the Dakbungalow roundabout on Thursday, World Autism Awareness Day, to mark the day.

Samarpan, a school for autistic children, had organised the walk to spread awareness on the condition. The children and their parents walked with placards such as "Give autistic children their rights".

Shivajee Kumar, the director of Samarpan, said the children could go a long way if they were properly trained. "Autism is not a curse but society thinks it to be. So, these type of awareness programmes need to be organised more frequently," he said.
