In the week of 25th December '10 to 1st January '11, we had our 7-day Athletic Meet at Parivaar. It started at 8 AM on 25th with a torch-run in which a huge group of Parivaar children and elders ran through the Barkalikapur village onto Bakhrahat Road and returned to light the lamp declaring the Meet open.
For 7 days through out the day after 9 AM (except a 2 hour break for lunch in the afternoon) to 5 PM there were a large number of events for each age-group of children (both boys and girls). In some age-groups different sub-groups were there. In all there were about more than 125 different competitions (many also had multiple qualifying rounds as well). There were competitions for elder Seva-vratees/volunteers too. The Meet ended with a closing torch-run on the evening of 1st January at 7 PM where again the run was done through the whole village
