Prerna 2013 - a national-level social event organized by the students of M S University's (MSU) Faculty of Technology and Engineering
(FTE) is set to make a new record this year. During the two-day annual
event - Prerna - the budding engineers of MSU will attempt to register a
Limca Book of Records.
The record will be one of its kind in which more than 700 deaf and mute people from every caste, creed and sex will perform the Indian national anthem on the same platform in sign language.
Through this, the students will pay a tribute to the national anthem, which has completed 100 years and celebrate the era of prosperity.
Prerna, being held for the eighth consecutive year on August 3 and August 4, is aimed at providing a platform to the differently-abled from across the country to showcase their abilities and talents.
Over 2,000 differently-abled including the physically handicapped, mentally disabled, deaf and mute and visually impaired participants are expected to take part in 35 different events.
"This year, under our new initiative - Shiksha - we will support education of nearly 10 under privileged students enrolled in Navprerna run by Navrachana Education Society for the under represented segments of the society," said FTE student Jainish Parikh.
Apart from blind and disabled cricket tournaments which are an annual feature at Prerna, the students are also organizing a blood donation camp, a free health check-up camp and will be involving the elderly in the two days programme.
"Under the 'Joy of Giving', we will be collecting stationery and clothes among other things for the under privileged while Dhaval Khatri, a double amputee magical painter, who holds the world record in painting in one minute, will be a part of Prerna where he will create live paintings," said Parikh.
