This year the education department asked the schools all over Tamilandu to celebrate annual day functions.  Therefore most of our supported schools celebrated the annual day. Asha sponsored prizes for children and snacks for them as well.

This year Annual Day celebrations started off a little early owing to the requirement from the Government of Tamilnadu. The schools were asked to finish the celebrations by 14 Feb,2024. Most of the schools made an effort to complete within the deadline provided, however, many could not. The Annual days at various schools were spread across February and March. Some of them were conducted even in April.

Another change this year was that, as the government requested the schools to conduct the annual day functions, a large percentage of the schools conducted them. Usually less than 1/3^rd of the schools conduct one. This year more than 2/3^rds of the schools conducted them. Asha supported annual day functions in more than a hundred schools this year.

As every year, Asha volunteers and coordinators have participated in the Annual days at our various projects. We organized prizes, snacks and beverages for all the events. Prizes were given for attendance, sports and cultural competitions. Children were provided steel tiffin boxes and plates as prizes.
