Several creative workshops and interactive activities were organised at the SPPU Metro Station between 11 am and 7 pm. These included a drawing competition conducted by the university’s Media and Communications Department, a Christmas cake pops workshop by pastry chef Akshata, and a handblock printing workshop by artist Manjiri.

Children also participated in a keychain-making workshop organised by Ecokaari, where they learnt to create products using discarded food wrappers. An ‘Akshar Ganesh’ activity conducted by artist Vasant Abhimanyu gave participants an opportunity to create their own Lord Ganesh artwork.

Additionally, Little Leaf organised a book donation drive, encouraging visitors to contribute waste paper, magazines, books and cardboard boxes to support its initiative of providing books to children in need.

The celebrations will continue on Sunday, November 15, with workshops, the heritage walk and the metro station walkthrough planned as part of the programme.
