Ryan International Group of Institutions is hosting the 16th Ryan International Children’s Festival in New Delhi from 13th to 17th December 2019 at Talkatora Stadium and National Bal Bhavan, New Delhi. There will be over 300 performances on the theme “Generation Equal”.

Speaking about this upcoming event, Dr. Madam Grace Pinto, Managing Director, Ryan Group said, “This year our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji’s vision of “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” has inspired the theme of the festival “Generation Equal”. The spotlight this year is on gender stereotypes that exist in societies around the world. By defining the roles for boys and girls, we are limiting them to develop their full potential and at this platform put forth the idea of overcoming prejudices and celebrating a generation of equals. We believe that children have immense energy, talents and skills and events such as these only help to channelise them in the right direction and motivating them to become confident and empowered global leaders. We thank our Lord Jesus Christ for his continual blessings and for the vision of Dr. A. F. Pinto, Chairman, Ryan Group to provide such international exposure to students. I wish all the participants the very best in life and believe that it has been an enriching experience for everyone”
