Bhubaneswar: The State-level Children’s Festival “Mahak” concluded today with a grand prize distribution ceremony at Kalinga Stadium, celebrating the creativity, perseverance, and talent of Odisha’s young minds.
Organised by the Women & Child Development Department and the Odisha State Child Protection Society, the two-day event served as a vibrant platform for children from across the State to showcase their abilities in dance, music, painting, debate, and quiz competitions.
Director of ICDS and Social Welfare Monisha Banerjee, Additional Secretary Krutibasa Rout, and UNICEF Odisha Field Office Chief William Hanlon Jr. graced the occasion and encouraged the children for their participation.
