Rotary Club Calcutta West Ridge has organised a creative writing competition among school and college students on Sister Nivedita's contributions to India.

The award-giving ceremony was held recently at the Shivananda Hall, Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture in Kolkata.

A total of 53 students were given prizes on the occasion. The participating schools included Sister Nivedita Girls School, DPS NewTown, RamKrishna Mission, Narendrapur, and Bethune Collegiate School, among others.

The first prize winners were Ishani Pandey, Anwesha Anand, Akanksha Behura, Subhadeep Sarkar, Banani Saha, Nivedita Saha, and Kamalakanta Barman.

The program was largely attended by students.

Swami Suparnanandaji Maharaj was the Chief Guest, and Swami Ekchittanandaji Maharaj offered two songs in his melodious voice.

Nirbanprana Mataji was present at the ceremony besides Rotary District Governor Rtn.Dr Krishnendu Gupta and District Governor Elect Rtn. Dr Ramendu Hom Choudhury.
