It was not just cookies, Ladoo, buttermilk, lemon juice, and passion fruit juice by 8-16yrd old participants – It was about a high level of commitment by taking feedback, making several samples and working independently to make such a huge quantity. Some struggles with the of skills like calculation, understanding quantities, but did not let that come on their way, worked hard to work to fulfill all the requirements.
It was just not about opening and closing circle by 13-15yrs old organisers of the event but exhibiting the earning spirit by doing many mock practices for opening and closing circle. An opportunity to face audience.
It was not just a few products by13-15yrs old entrepreneurs, but involvement in making and creating a prototype to get the market feedback. This was just a small window to try out skills in the market.
It was just not a session on Odissi by a 13yr learner, but also the preparation, and demonstration with commitment which matters.

It was just not about shooting videos and photographs of the event by a 15yrs old learner but a high level of commitment to cover each action of the Utsav and be on toes till the end of the Utsav.
It was just not about puzzles with wires and stones but an opportunity to experience the rural wisdom.
It was not about a session on smart non-cooperation, or learning to make pouches with paper strips, but the involvement of the parents in the community.
It was just not food stalls, or selling watermelon and coconut water but participation of the neighbourhood in the event.
