Republic Day celebrated at Priyadarshini Vihar

Dear Sir,

Republic Day was celebrated at Priyadarshini Vihar on Sunday, 22nd January, 2012 by hoisting the National Flag. Display of Flags and colourful banners of various sponsors of the event presented a festival look in the A-Block Park where the event was held.. Instead of inviting a political leader, RWA decided to get the Flag unfurled by the oldest resident of the colony, Shri Ram Gopal Sharma, 92. After the National Anthem sung by the tiny tots of the colony, Shri Sharma also recited a self-composed desh bhakti song. 

Different types of races - kangaroo race, spoon & lemon race, duck relay race, one leg race, three-legged race and more exciting games were organized for all age groups of children and elders. After a chilly morning, bright Sun shine by mid day brought much needed relief from the cold and every one enjoyed immensely. Prizes were given away to all the winners. Chocolates were distributed on behalf of Snickers to all the participants as consolation prize. A subsidized vegetarian Lunch was served at the end of the event.
