Parikrma Halli : Belakina Ooru 2016

The idea of escaping the maze of the urban city landscape to the simplistic beauty and silence of a village ambience is quite appealing. The students of Parikrma Humanity Foundation made it possible to experience this by hosting “Parikrma Halli- Belakina Ooru” on 6^th February, 2016 at the Parikrma school campus, Koramangala.

This theme based village fair was initiated by Mrs. Maria Leena, Social teacher of the High School, who coordinated this entire program to promote rural development. It helped students to not only gain an insight into the rural background and entrepreneurship, but also equipped them with the skills and basic expertise to streamline the economies of the rural areas to mainline businesses.  

They explored the traditional environment and culture of a rural set up and their entrepreneurial spirits by making, marketing and selling their own products. From organizing the stage to the products, everything was done by the students themselves and the funds raised by the event went to the welfare of Parikrma Koramangala.
