Cash prizes were awarded to the top three entries in each category. The programme was supported by school representatives Santosh Kumar and Dayananda Kumar in their role as a resource person. Many highlighted that such programmes help them understand the emotional needs of senior citizens, promote compassion and improve communication with elders at home and in their neighbourhoods. The creative platforms of drawing and essay competitions allowed students to express their feelings freely, offering meaningful insights into how young people perceive ageing, caregiving and intergenerational connection.
