The Chief Guest for the event was Mr. Prakask Purohit the owner of ‘Ashray Resort’ and a collaborator of Don Bosco Lonavala.
  
The Principal of Don Bosco Lonavala was thrilled that the winners and runners were his own students. “This is just the first Gold we have many more to come and we will fight for nothing less than Gold”, says Fr. Lorenzo D’Souza the Principal of Don Bosco High School and Junior College Lonavala.
