Meaningful skit, songs, and dances related to social issues were staged by the children. We also provided them meals and snacks.

Sr. Leema dealt with the role of NCP ministers also what they can do in their own area as NCP member. Along with learning about children’s parliament the children learned many things by interacting with one another. Children also shared their achievements of parliaments in the past like providing the people with street light, cleaning the surroundings, stopping the wine shop, planting the saplings etc. We conducted some game and distributed prizes.
