Little Radhas and Krishnas brighten Janmashtami celebration

Dressed in beautifully adorned Radha and Krishna outfits, the children of Srishti Trust and Learning Centre celebrated the festival of Janmashtami in a heartwarming event organised by RAC Delhi South, RID 3011. “The tradition of dressing children as Lord Krishna and Radha during Janmashtami (birth of Lord Krishna) has cultural significance. It symbolises innocence, divinity, and the playful nature of Lord Krishna’s childhood,” says Aakshi Saxena, a club member.

The event was organised to “bring smiles to the young participants, foster cultural pride, and community spirit,” she adds. The children danced for the Rotaractors. The club donated toys to the school. The event concluded with the distribution of refreshments.

On the same day, the club organised Project Swasthsetu, a mega blood donation and health checkup camp. Held in collaboration with the Max Hospital, Clove Dental, UK Eye Care and Nutriflex, the camp received 400 footfalls. Over 800 consultations were given, addressing a range of health concerns, from general health and dental care to eye checkups and nutrition advice. “The comprehensive health services offered during the camp ensured that individuals from various backgrounds could access healthcare,” says Kartik Dawar, project coordinator.

The blood donation drive was organised in partnership with the Rotary Blood Bank, Delhi. Over 50 units of blood were collected. “The drive contributed to addressing the critical need for blood in medical emergencies,” he says, and adds that the “social media promotions led by Chandrika Dixit helped spread awareness about the camp, drawing more participants and highlighting the power of social media.”

IPDRR Kriti Malhotra was present at the camp.
