Samarpan A Lifestyle Exhibition

Retail therapy = a lot of fun. That’s what the fourth edition of Samarpan, a lifestyle exhibition partnered by t2, has in store this weekend. The fair that was unveiled at Ice Skating Rink on Friday morning will be on till Sunday, from 10am to 8pm.

Clothes to silver artefacts, quirky stationery to chunky jewellery — Samarpan has it all and under one roof. Rakhi, however, is the main draw and you’ll be simply spoilt for choice. Instead of going for the traditional ones, try funky — Angry Birds or Spider-Man! Gifts, handicrafts and savouries — think pickles, papad and digestives — are also on offer. “Rakhis and gift items are selling like hot cakes and the footfalls have already crossed 3,000,” said Samarpan organiser Rewa Kajaria on Friday afternoon.

The students coming down from the tribal places were very weak , particularly in English and Mathematics. They were so eager  to study that they never used to get tired out of studying. Their day use to start with a 2 hrs class of English which would move on with a physics session. The first half was looked after byUpasana a very hard working member of Kalyan Ashram. Their was a Maths session which was conducted almost everyday. The students used to sit within groups and they were taught maths by members of the Youth Wing.

The most lightning and one to one interactive session was held by one of our aspiring member Ankit Singhi. This interactive session was held to freshen and to charge them  up after the long day books.

This whole event of 10 days brought us close to the vanvasi students.They were highly benefited by these classes . They enjoyed a video class ofgeography by Piush Agarwal ,Ayush and Parth Rastogi.
