The World Senior Citizens Day 2025 celebration in Belagavi unfolded as a vibrant, full-day affair, dedicated entirely to honoring the city’s elders. The event’s success came from its excellent organization across the extensive campus of Sri S. G. Balekundri Engineering College. Therefore, organizers deliberately split the program into two key sections: they held active sports competitions outdoors on the college grounds, while they hosted engaging cultural competitions inside the sophisticated auditorium hall. This thoughtful approach ensured the program celebrated both physical wellness and artistic expression among the participants.
