Chandigarh, November 5
Bringing festive cheer to children ahead of Diwali, Tricity Intelligentsia, in collaboration with Kaushal Foundation, organised a gift distribution programme for 58 students of Government Model High School, Rehabilitation Colony No. 2, Maloya. Prerna Puri, IAS, Secretary Education, Chandigarh Administration, attended as the Chief Guest and distributed Diwali gifts and sweets to the children. She interacted warmly with the students and extended her blessings and best wishes for their future.
The initiative reached out to eight children who have lost both parents and 50 who have lost their fathers, seeking to offer encouragement, care and a sense of belonging during the festive season. The programme was kept simple, with the focus on spending time with the children and reassuring them of the community’s continued support. Members of Tricity Intelligentsia joined the occasion and shared festive greetings with the students.
Tricity Intelligentsia has adopted the school to support its students’ education, health and personality development. The Diwali programme formed part of its continuing efforts to contribute to their overall well-being. The organisers expressed gratitude tos Prerna Puri for her presence and support, acknowledging her commitment to the welfare and education of children.
