Nrityanjali FEST is an interschool competition for children being held since the last two decades. It is a part of Nrityanjali's Social Responsibility and Social Service initiative, held in Raigad District, Thane District, Mumbai & Navi Mumbai.
It was first organised in 1987, to give children an opportunity to display their talent and gain confidence
FEST has more than 90 categories of events – literary, speech, handwriting, drawing, acting, music, dance and drama – for Jr. K.G to Std. X.
Students from Schools in and around Mumbai and Thane District participate. The Competitions are organised in Four zones - Central, Western, Navi Mumbai and South Mumbai. Nominal fees are charged and the entire expenses are met from Nrityanjali Fund collected through performances and management trainings.
Apart from the prize winners, every participant is issued a Certificate of APPRECIATION. Special care is taken of the participating children during the competition.
The purpose of these competitions is to help develop self-confidence and the spirit of competitiveness. "One must try to win but if not, one must learn to lose gracefully."
