Children’s Day Celebrations Organized At BITM, Kolkata

Childrens-Day-2021

To celebrate Children’s Day on 14th November 2021, BITM organized an annual day of action for children, by children. Young people raised their voices on the issues that matter to their generation and called for adults – to create a better future.

The expenses of the current pandemic for children are immediate and, if unaddressed, may last a lifetime. To provide impetus to this issue, gas balloons carrying messages for following COVID-19 appropriate behavior were released by the children, in the presence of Shri V. S. Ramachandran, Director, BITM.

To recalibrate their association with nature, primary students competed to ‘Identify Birds and Mimic its Calls’. Underprivileged children presented a street-play on ‘Society & Nature’.

Revealing the secrets of bodies at very low temperatures, a live-science show on ‘Liquid Nitrogen’ held the kids captive.
