Throughout the Pakhwada, a series of competitive events were organized to foster engagement with the official language, including essay writing, note-taking, official language knowledge tests, and speech competitions. The successful participants were honoured with mementos and certificates during the closing programme. Adding to the academic and cultural fervour, a book exhibition was also organized, providing insights into Hindi literature and official language policies.
