CK school enters limca record books

Updated on: Monday, February 06, 2012

Students of CK School, here at Cuddalore, set a new Limca World Record by carving 15,000 flowers from vegetables setting them in the shape of the world map in a record time of 10 minutes.

Chief guest of the occasion was Dr. Rathinasabapathy, Registrar of Annamalai University and guests of honor Ms. Smita Thomas, Assistant Editor of the Limca Book of Records and Mr. C. K. Subramanian, Cuddalore Municipality Chairman were all present at the time of the event.

The depiction was carried out with 550 students aged from 11-15 years from standard 6 to 10 and measuring 50x30 feet denoting literacy levels in each continent and poverty levels of the world.

The representation was made using flowers carved from 600 kilograms of radish.

Mr. D. Chandrasekaran, Director of CK Group of Institutions commented about the record saying, “The radish is a very difficult vegetable to carve with and the students had to learn to use the knife in order to finish the carvings within the time given to them. This was a challenge but our approach is to encourage students to do what seems impossible.”
