New Year's Magic on Vande Bharat: Slum Children Celebrate Dreams Come True
The first day of New Year 2025 turned into a golden dream for the children from slum areas and the Dalit community in Howrah. A special DJ night was organized for them on the semi-high-speed Vande Bharat Express, where the children celebrated New Year with joy and excitement, alongside the families of Govind Ram Agarwal and Vishnu Das Mittal.
For these children, who typically face life's hardships, this experience felt nothing short of magical. It was their first time enjoying a journey on such a high-profile train, coupled with DJ music and entertainment, a memory they will cherish forever.
This grand event was inaugurated by renowned philanthropist and businessman Sachin Mittal and Neha Mittal, who played a key role in making this dream come true for the children. Navya and Niyati worked diligently to spread joy and make the event a memorable success. The children had a delightful time, participating in a magic show and various fun-filled activities.
Adding to the event’s grace were Howrah City Police's female officer Kakoli Ghosh, Border Security Force officer Sushil Kumar, and social workers Jitendra Gupta, Kishan Bhojak, and Rajesh Singh Butter, who attended as distinguished guests. The program was energetically hosted by Ravikant Pandey, whose vibrant presentation brought the entire atmosphere to life.
This event was not just about entertainment for the children but also an effort to give them new hope and direction. The day filled them with new energy and confidence, a gift they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
