Dance performances by underprivileged children along with dance and music performances by Techno India students, open to all quiz, Antakshari, and a flash mob were a treat for all. Post the inauguration, there was a panel discussion on ‘On Resilience: Overcoming Challenges In Life’ where Sumit Agarwal, motivational speaker, Soma Bhowmick, artist and motivational speaker and Prof Manoshi Roy Chowdhury, Co-chairperson, Techno India Group shared their views. The discussion benefitted the audience to gain insight into managing difficulties in life and ways to develop mental, emotional, and behavioural flexibility. The panel discussion was followed by a workshop on ‘De-Stress through movements’ facilitated by Shayori Mitra, a dance movement therapist. The session helped the participants to be more mindful of ways one can manage stress through manoeuvring one’s movements. One of the unique aspects of the fair was the “Sit & Draw Competition” which was aimed at the inclusion of both differently-abled individuals and abled individuals. Prof Manoshi Roy Chowdhury, Co-Chairman, Techno India Group said that the International Day of Happiness, being celebrated on 20th March every year reminds them of the importance of being grateful and kind to one another. The feeling of being included and accepted for who they are through freedom of self-expression brings in moments of joy. Hence, the fair aims to create a common platform for senior members, individuals who are differently abled and from marginalized backgrounds, and the general mass to exhibit their talents, as creativity serves as one of the key factors on the road to happiness. The concept of taking forward kindness through inclusion helps to eradicate prejudices, intolerance and stigma which the world is trying hard to fight. The Happiness Fair is one such endeavour that attempts to break the stigma around mental health and harp on the need to cater to their emotional wellness. Apart from these, there were many performances lined up for the participants of the fair. A fashion show by the senior citizens of ‘Snehodiya’, and a fashion shows by the school students with their caregivers were an integral part of the fair. Dance performances by underprivileged children along with dance and music performances by Techno India students, open to all quiz, Antakshari, and a flash mob were a treat for all.
