After the competition, prizes were distributed among the winners in the afternoon.
The speakers at the event gave inspirational speeches to the students and urged them to be more active in co-curricular activities along with their studies. . And we thank this program for organizing such an event. We think that such fairs should be organized more and more to improve the quality of life of adolescents. Adolescence is a very important chapter in human life.
At this time, adolescents undergo physical and mental changes. But due to lack of proper knowledge, they need training on increasing life skills. Education is given to increase skills to prevent negative issues in society such as child marriage, eve-teasing, dowry, gender discrimination, violence against women and health risks. Such initiatives are playing a big role in improving the quality of life.
If the entire country is to be seen as having good health, the concerned parties will have to be more active in this regard. It is worth noting that such initiatives have always been seen taking place in a festive atmosphere, such as "Youth Fairs and Cultural Programs" to provide entertainment for people of all ages under the "Prosperity Program" and "Youth Fairs and Cultural Programs" for teenagers.
