The Corporate Social Responsibility club of IIM Raipur and Rotary Club of Raipur Cosmopolitan recently organised an interschool competition - 'Shine 2015 - Cosmo Youth Festival' for students coming from various city schools to exhibit their talent.
Over 100 students from 50 schools participated in various events like group discussion, debate, story writing, quiz, waste to wealth, open your mind and many more which were conducted in 2 rounds from 9 am to 5 pm. Students were divided into two groups- Middle and Senior- based on their class and the events were conducted accordingly.
Anxiety and excitement were seen not only on the faces of students but also among the parents who came to support and encourage the young minds of the country. Judges were equally amazed and impressed by the creative skills displayed by the students in all the events, specifically in 'Waste to Wealth' and 'Open your Mind'. While events like mathematical ability and quiz tested their aptitude, 'Dance' and 'Play the music' showcased their extracurricular skills.
The event concluded with prize distribution ceremony. Students of St. Xaviers, Holy Hearts Educational Academy, Holy Cross and many more bagged prizes in some of the events while, Krishna Public school was honored with 'School of Schools' award.
