St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata (SXUK) organised Sishu Mela on December 19, 2023 at the Kulberia Primary School with pomp and ceremony.

The celebration was organised specially for the children, their parents and other stake holders from four adjacent villages namely Kanthalberia, Kulberia, Dharmatala-Panchuria and Jirangacha.

The event included various activities for children to participate in, like drawing, dancing, singing and a fancy dress competition, etc. Game stalls for critical thinking and logical reasoning were also there. Children found the event highly enriching.

Parents of the children and panchayat members of these villages also found the event highly interesting. SXUK, since its inception, has been maintaining a sense of belongingness and ownership among the community members with regard to the university’s initiatives to provide them with scopes for attaining a quality life.
