About Sakshi ArenaOne School FestThe greatest gift one can give a child is the gift of
experience.
Today’s students are more aware of their
surroundings than any of the previous generations,
thanks to their being immersed in a digital
enviornment.With access to an enormous amount
of information, students today are empowered to
understand the world around them better.
However, there are things that can only be learned
by experiences, just words would do little justice!
This is where the Sakshi Arena One – School Fest
steps in. The Sakshi Arena One - School Fest, is
the single largest canvas for students from schools
in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to connect,
compete and experience the world around them
as never before, an experience which we believe
will out last the event.
The School Fest is being initiated by the Sakshi
Media Group under its student outreach program
to instill the spirit of competition, fair play and team
work among the students. Sakshi Arena One will
also aid schools in nurturing talent and provide the
schools a definitive canvas to encourage students
to excel and win laurels. Sakshi Arena One - The
School Fest is an event where every competing
student wins. The winners take home added
confidence in their skills, which will help them
compete at higher levels. The participants get an
opportunity to get a first hand understanding of
their strengths and shortcomings, helping them
improve their abilities.

Creative ArenaThe purest forms of creative expression have always been the domain of younglings. Children see the world around them without filters and have the gift to portray complexity in the simplest of ways.
To bring out this creativity, the Sakshi Arena One School Fest has the Creative Arena category in place. With competitions such as Poster Making and Presentations, the School Fest will help children showcase their creative points of view on topics that they are familiar with.
Poster Making The Poster Making Competition will indulge the
children in portraying their views on several topics in a creative manner.
Presentation We inhabit a world which has its own share of delights
and difficulties. The Presentation Competition gives the participating children a chance to present their views on certain topics as well provide innovative solutions and ways to improve them. This is our chance to learn from the children!
Fine ArtsThe finer things in life are those that require a lot of patience, love and creativity to nurture and build. Painting and Photography are the two main sub-categories in the Fine Arts section.
Painting Colours can bring almost anything to life! No
competition for children is ever complete without a Painting contest. Participants will have the opportunity to bring to life ideas in their own special and colourful ways.
Photography Photography is an activity that exhibits the viewpoint
of individuals. Usually considered as an activity for adults, the introduction of this sub-category in the School Fest gives the children an opportunity to showcase their point of view and skills of observation.
LiteraryWords have the power to inspire, educate and bring peace and harmony in society. The Sakshi Arena One School Fest gives its participants the opportunity to understand and hone this power of words through the literary category.

starting their careers right here at the School Fest with the Article Writing Competition. The contest will see children writing on several topics from current affairs to education.

a coin. Debates have always been a way for society to understand contrasting points of view on subjects. The School Fest will promote the same spirit of debate amongst the students through this competition.
