IMT Ghaziabad students spend a day with kids from Asha Vidyalaya


A few kids from the Asha Vidyalaya visited IMT Ghaziabad campus to spend a day with the IMT students. The visit was a part of the event; Ehsaas organized by IMT Ghaziabad’s Make a Difference Foundation. Here is how the day was spent.

IMT Ghaziabad students along with Shalini tiwari, the chairperson of Students Affairs and Welfare Council gave a warm welcome to the kids from Asha Vidyalaya who came to the campus to spend a day with them. There were a total of 48 differently-abled kids who visited the campus to be a part of the event, Ehsaas, organized by IMT Ghaziabad’s Make a Difference Foundation.

A special screening of the Tom & Jerry cartoon was especially arranged for the kids, which they thoroughly enjoyed. They also loved and enjoyed the performances by Kanishka, Pulkit and Nitisha. It was great to see these little kids shaking their legs on the Bollywood numbers. Vishal’s performance was highly appreciated.

To encourage the kids and keep their enthusiasm on they were presented with prizes for their dance performances. Prof. Kaushik Datta was called upon the stage to give away the prizes. The kids were then taken to the field where they indulged in various outdoor activities. They laughed and ran across the fields racing with each other. They played football, throw ball and Frisbee. The students from IMT Ghaziabad also enjoyed these games with them.

Himani who won the lemon spoon race said, “It feels great to be here at the campus, we are all enjoying to the fullest”. Similarly, Prakash who played cricket with his fellow classmates and IMT Ghaziabad students was equally thrilled and shared that he would love to visit the campus again, adding- “The didis and bhaiyyas are extremely helpful and kind.” It was a treat to watch Prakash hit six on each ball.

Kanishka from Asha Vidyalaya who participated in the dance competition shared, “I love dancing and do not quite enjoy outdoor sports such as handball, football, etc but I just don’t want to leave the playground today, I never knew all these sports could be so much fun”. A student from IMT Ghaziabad too shared a similar view, “I haven’t played and enjoyed like this since a very long time”, he said.

After several rounds of these games, it was time for lunch. The students at IMT Ghaziabad bid goodbye to the kids post lunch. It was great to be host to such wonderful kids and equally difficult to part with them post the event.

“The students taught us how to find joy and happiness in every little thing”, said another IMT Ghaziabad student. This day would be cherished by everyone at IMT Ghaziabad.
