BHUBANESWAR:
The children have reason to cheer as a city-based organisation Swabhiman is
going to organise a five-day long International Children’s Festival which would
be started from November 2 in the city. The organisation would also hold Anjali
Children’s Film Festival, the only national children festival in India,
after two days of the first festival.
The children’s festival would
continue for five days at Adivasi Exhibition Ground in the city which would be inaugurated
by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. The organisers have added some extra
activities in the film festival in comparison to the last year to educate and
entertain the children.
The film festival would start
from November 9 and continue for six days at Rabindra Mandap in the city.
Internationally acclaimed films like ‘Baaja’, ‘Foto’, ‘Sixer’, ‘Wrong
Mauritius’ and ‘Xang Xang Klang’ would be screened in the festival.
“In ten years of its journey it
has reached over 15,000 children (non-disabled and disabled) and helped many
disabled students to successfully complete courses, obtain jobs, and get
visibility and thus opportunities. Children from 22 States have participated in
it,” said Swabhiman’s Chairperson Dr Sruti Mohapatra.
