Speaking during the valedictory, Music Varsity Vice-Chancellor Dr. Sarvamangala Shankar said that children must not only dream but should work towards fulfilling the same. She urged the children to imbibe what had been taught in Rangayana and to lead their life on moral values.

Senior Theatrist Prof. G.K. Govindarao, Ranga Samaja Members K.Y. Narayanaswamy & D.S. Chougle, Rangayana Dy. Director Nirmala Mathapati and Chinnara Mela Director Mime Ramesh were present.
