LEADer Rajeshwari and her team members Avishek, Nikita, Ravi, Ranjan, Amitrao, and Vallabha of SDMCET, Dharwad conducted Swadesh Expo 13, an inter-school essay writing and drawing competition for schools in the Dharwad region.  

Over 150 students between 4th and 7th STD participated in the competition.  The students were given two hours to complete their essays and drawings.  The competition allowed the students to showcase their brilliant ideas and extraordinary imagination skills.

Rajeshwari says, "It was a quite new experience managing the kids and answering to their small and  interesting queries. The management also gave a very good response. The principal arrived and showed keen interest in looking into every student's drawing and encouraging him/her."

After collecting the essay and drawing sheets, Rajeshwari and her team distributed sweets to the participants.  The team really loved seeing the smiles on the children's faces.  They then went to the Vice Principal's chamber and showed her the imaginative and impressive essays and drawings created by the children.  The Vice Principal was happy to see such great talent in the students.
