Sector 22 and Sector 44 Lead the Way with Patriotic Displays
From August 10 to August 12, a group of outside assessors went to several MWAs and assessed their patriotic exhibits. The MWAs repurposed their facilities to create colorful memorials to the country that featured a diverse array of artistic expressions.
Three MWAs were particularly notable for their outstanding displays. Despite its smaller size, Sector-49 market took second place because to its lively atmosphere and careful eco-friendly décor. Sector-24 market’s inventive use of discarded materials and striking rangoli helped it to the third place.
Creative Patriotism: A Showcase of Innovation and National Pride
The “Har Mohalla Tiranga Partiyogita” invited RWAs to take part in the festivities in addition to the MWA competition. Through a variety of events and exhibits, the RWAs demonstrated their inventiveness and zeal while emphasizing the value of national pride and the relevance of the Tiranga. First place went to Sector-44 RWA, second place went to Sector-33 RWA, and third place went to RWAs in Sectors 27 and 22 B.
Highlights from the RWA competitions included a vibrant show in Sector 51 with young children dressed as Indian freedom fighters, a special handmade sheet paper meshing and inventive selfie station with the peacock, India’s national bird, in Sector 38, and a stirring play/act by senior citizens (women) in Sector 22 that emphasized the significance of the Tiranga.
