There was active participation and enthusiasm among the participants of 11 teams.

Working in teams of three, everyone was engrossed for those twenty minutes coming up with artistic, colourful, and vibrant Rangolis. The team with the best Rangoli was rewarded with a gift hamper at the end of the event.

All the participants were then moved to the mess to engage in an even more interesting activity, Musical Chairs. The game was played in two phases after the housekeeping staffs were all gathered inside the mess. To play the game effectively, the entire staff was divided into two groups and in this game the music was being played in the background while the housekeeping staffs were walking around the chairs and each round happened to an elimination round. After a vigorous battle, Ms. Revati and Ms. Sumalata were the winners of the competition.
