We are thrilled to announce the overwhelming success of the MV Kavya Dhara 2025, Marathi Poem Recitation Competition, which was held on March 8th. The event began with a beautiful Sanskrit shloka Prathana recited by Ishita Karkhanis setting a calm and inspiring tone for the competition ahead. 

Kudos to every participant for their outstanding efforts. Each one of them recited flawlessly. We would also like to express our appreciation to the parents, whose support and guidance helped these young talents practice and present recitation in front of a live audience. Many participants went above and beyond by dressing according to their chosen poems, carrying props and showcasing remarkable presentation skills. . Our youngest and most enthusiastic performers, all under the age of 4, took the stage! Each participant received a participation certificate and a token gift. 

The Kavya Dhara 2025 competition was judged by two independent judges, Rahul Gune and Neeta Purav. Both judges brought a wealth of knowledge and experience, not only in Marathi language but also in writing, acting and drama. The valuable suggestions and tips provided to the parents greatly enhanced the event. 

The event was led by MV board members Dipti Karkhanis and Vrushali Bhawtankar with support from other board members Mandar Kelkar, Priya Godbole-Chouthai, Kachan Joshi, Roopali Gune, Salil Parkar, and trustee Vihar Deshpande. Thank you to our volunteers for the day Shailesh Karkhanis, Ishita Karkhanis, Sonali Bhavthankar, and Monica Kalyankar. 

We didn’t miss the opportunity of taking a group photo of all the ladies in celebration of the International Women’s Day!
