All Shiksha Sopan workerrs, Instructors, and people associated with the Summer Camp were present. Prof H C Verma introduced the Shiksha Sopan Team to Prof Dhande. Children and the Instructors expressed their feelings during the Camp. All of them told in different words that this had been a unique and most exciting experience of their lives and they lived in a totally different world for the 36 days. Prof Dhande wished them all the best in their lives and asked them to very carefully store the memories in the well preserved slots of mind, more like ornaments are preserved in velvet boxes. Mr S Kashalkar, Registrar IITK and faculty members present also blessed the children. A Scholarship of Rs 1700 for School fee and books was given to each child. The children of the camp enjoyed the camp immensely and they went their home on 28 th June with heavy hearts. All of them had the wish in their hearts that they may join Summer camp next year also. Each one of them was asked to write a feedback in free format, whatever they wanted to share with us in written form. The feedback amply tells that children were enjoying their studies with the teachers of the camp and all other activities. At the day of departure many of the children had tears in their eyes. Busy in taking addresses and contact numbers of each other, they all were telling that they will not forget this camp for whole of their life.
