“This fiesta is organised with an aim to make the parents aware about children’s fine motor and gross motor development, and sensory development through various play chambers. Through various activities that we have organised, children can develop language skills, logical mathematical perception and learn about environment,” said Surendra Dighe, chairman, Saraswati Mandir Trust.

The school premises is decorated with paintings and colourful informative charts.

Akshata Raju, parent of 4-year-old Shrishti, said, “There were many engaging and effective learning activities for children. My daughter was intrigued to visit all the sections.”
