Team Udaan from Keshav Seva Sadhana School for Special Children, Bicholim, has once again proven that talent knows no boundaries. Representing Goa at the 25th Anjali International Children and Youth Festival, held from 12th to 16th November 2025 at Adivasi Bhavan, Odisha, the young performers delivered an unforgettable showcase of music and artistry.
The team—Vibha Ajit Kanekar, Rudresh Kishore Gad, and Yash Sukado Kalangutkar—performed under the expert guidance of Guru Mrs. Manjiri D. Jog, whose dedication shaped their soulful and captivating presentation. Their expressive voices and confident stage presence left the audience in awe, earning appreciation from across the festival community.
Team Udaan’s participation was made possible through the support of Disability Rights Association of Goa (DRAG) President Avelino De Sa, who generously funded their travel, enabling the students to experience this national platform. The school also acknowledges the remarkable efforts of Dr. Sruti and Swabhiman NGO, organizers of the festival, for curating a celebration of art, culture, learning, and inclusivity.
Beyond their performance, the students immersed themselves in various workshops—music, origami, pottery, fun games, and the vibrant carnival, each activity adding joy, skill, and cherished memories to their journey.
Keshav Seva Sadhana School expressed immense pride in the team’s achievements and believes these talented young artists will continue to shine and inspire.
Meanwhile, the Disability Rights Association of Goa has appealed to the Government to formulate a dedicated scheme to offer financial assistance to persons with disabilities for the promotion of art and culture—ensuring that many more gifted individuals get the opportunities they deserve.
