Unfortunately, that trend has vanished now and nowadays kids only play on their mobiles rather than play on ground.” She thanked Fr Mahesh and the staff for organizing this sport event so that the little kids enjoy open on the play ground and requested parents to encourage them to play all the time.
Fr Mahesh announced the winners of the march fast. Not to discourage any kid all the four LKG/UKG girls and boys were declared the winners and Babita gave away the winning trophies to the smiling kids.
