Special Events & Celebrations

World Leprosy Day

Udayan celebrated World Leprosy Day on 30th January 2022 under the theme, ‘United for Dignity’. The day was observed for those affected by leprosy who are the victims of social discrimination. Udayan spread awareness about the disease, and associated stigma,by conducting a Leprosy Awareness Rally – honoring the dignity of people who have experienced leprosy, with all Udayan Staff members and children participating.

                                 

Annual Sports Day

Sports in Udayan act as a powerful tool that creates a sense of community among the children as they develop connections, a spirit of sportsmanshipand a united bond. Udayan organized the Annual Sports Day in February 2022 where children enjoyed sports and participated in activities like relay race, 100 meters & 400 meters race, skipping, discus, javelin, short marathon, balloon race, marble and spoon race.  At the end of the event children & Staff members were congratulated though distribution of prizes.

                                   

Celebration of Basant Utsav

Udayan celebrated the festival of colours in March, with active involvement of children and staff members who played ‘colours’ with immense fervour and zeal. Basant Utsav literally means the 'celebration of spring' and is held in West Bengal on the same day as Holi, where spring is welcomed through music and dance. The children, along with house mothers, house brothers and staff members applied herbal coloured powders (gulal) on one another, as is the tradition for the festival. The entire premise was filled not only with colour, but also with the feeling of joy and hope.
