Suggestions for Baal Vikaas

THE EDITOR: I attended the Baal Vikaas finals and was greatly impressed with the high standard of performance of our children. My congratulations to the children, the teacher, the parents and well wishers who helped in their training and, of course, to the Maha Sabha for creating such a wonderful programme.

Like most things, there is room for improvement and I would like to make a few suggestions.
(1) The toilet block needs to be extended. Two male/female toilets are not enough for the hundreds of people there on those days.
(2) One or two of the officials should be more considerate in the way they talk. It was hurtful to hear the rough and unkind words coming out of some of these pundits who by their profession, faith and religion should be more kind and compassionate.
(3) There should be special prizes for the hard work of the ‘behind-the-screen’  people. For example, I saw a dance by the students of St Helena and was amazed at the choreography. That partiuclar choreographer should be highly praised.
