Udupi Utsav Stall

Day:Christmas Day( Udupi Utsav )

The annual festive event in the sleepy little town of Udupi is the Udupi Utsav.Held usually during the month of December this annual events draws a huge number of people from in and around Udupi. Team Annadhana was fortunate enough to receive 

a small booth at the fair for a couple of days. The booth was pretty close to the exit, thus broadening our target audience. 

The Udupi City Muncipal Corporation was kind enough to allot the space without charging any rent. We were able to set up a desk and our main advertising medium was a 40inch television. A couple of banners were put up.(One in 

English and the other in the local language, Kannada). We printed over 1000 pamphlets that got over within the desired time limit. The booth was ours for only a couple of days.To raise funds we had made crafts out of ice cream bar sticks.Couple of our team members had toiled for days to finish these and they were a huge success.

On the first day we managed to give away more than 60 of these pieces. We had exceeded our expecatations.60 was a number that we initially thought was too big. Who in

right mind would buy these.Then again we are not psychologists or acclaimed HR professionals, but zealous 20

year students! We stuck in and managed to make few more of these crafts to sell on day 2. The next day a rather big

'Donation Box' was placed at the front of our desk.We were in for a shocker again. The number of people 

who turned up to donate money was way more than we could've asked. Exact figures of our collection will be put 

up in a few days! We look forward to kick start our work as soon as possible!
