The annual sports day was celebrated in all the Mission Education centers of Kolkata. Various kinds of sporting activities were conducted for a week which was a way to encourage the children to play outdoors rather than spending time watching television etc. Group games also encourage the children to work in harmony. Prizes were distributed to the winners of various games and cultural performances also made the day a memorable one.
