Bharat Vikas Parishad Chandivali branch organised the National Group Anthem singing competition at Prime Academy school in Marol on August 7, Sunday to inculcate ideals of patriotism in children through songs. 25 schools in Powai participated in this competition enthusiastically.

The programme started at 9 AM with the Indian national song "Vande Mataram'' being played followed by the chief guests, National Organization Minister Mr Suresh Jain and the Women Empowerment head of the branch, P. Padwal lighting the lamp.
