CHICAGO: With as much pageantry as allowed by the current Coronavirus environment but with lot of enthusiasm and participation, Hindi Club of Illinois (HCI) launched its online Hindi Pratibha Manch platform on Saturday May 30,2022 in Chicago
HCI Founder/President Gurbachan Kaur commenced this groundbreaking zoom serial event by introducing the Chief Guest. Ranjit Singh, Consul from Indian Consulate Chicago. Consul Singh inaugurated the event with Acharaya Joshi lighting the ceremonial lamp. Children from various Chicagoland communities with ages from 7 through 15 years presented their skills in Hindi through evoking prayers, singing variety of songs, dance, reciting Gita shlokas, speaking about coronavirus and how it has impacted their schooling and lives.
Everyone felt that during the current social restrictions this event was refreshing since it allowed children and their parents to engage in an online interactive social atmosphere. The event was also well attended by scores of individuals and their families during its live cast on Facebook.
In his closing remarks Consul. Ranjit Singh noted that the event was multidimensional exhibiting a bouquet of presentations while promoting our culture and language. He also encouraged the Hindi Club to maintain such activities in coming days
