The entire arrangement of bringing and dropping was done by Mahavir Intercontinental Service Organization Raipur. The entire workshop was held at the air-conditioned building convention center, Atal Nagar, Naya Raipur. This program was very challenging because children are very sensitive and they have to be taken special care of. Along with skill development, special games like chess, martial arts, cricket, etc. were organized for visually challenged children. In a special cricket match for visually impaired children, a day-night match was organized between the teams of Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, in which national-level women and men players took part. To encourage children in this program, the Chhattisgarh Government’s Minister of Women and Child Development and Social Welfare Mrs. Anila Bhediya Ji registered her presence.

During the program, Dr. Kavadia distributed free medicines while examining and consulting skin care for visually impaired children. The children also presented different types of programs showing their talent, in which singing, musical instruments, dance, drama, etc. were prominent.
