After the judges presented a review of all the performances by the participants, the chief guest for the valedictory function Dr. Malini Chandrasekaran, Honorary Medical Director – South, Karkinos Healthcare Private Limited, inspired the audience with her invaluable talk on human values. She stressed that the conditioning done on the children at their young age played an important role in building their future. The diminishing of the traditional games in our culture such as ‘Pallankuzhi’ which taught the value of sharing, ‘Snake and Ladder’ which taught the value of perseverance, has led to the eradication of human values from the tender hearts of the children. She expressed that all the subjects should be taught with integration of human values.

All other participants and guide teachers were given Certificates and mementoes for their participation.
