"Response is phenomenal, we never expected a crowd of this size in a strange place, a not-so-popular location. Minister CP Yogeshwar immediately sanctioned Rs ten lakhs for the event and he was instrumental in getting a bank loan to fund this festival," he additional mentioned.

"Department of Youth Empowerment supported us. Many departments came together with the village community to conduct the event," he added. Shyam, a customer from Tamil Nadu, mentioned, "It was a great experience to see the festival. We see many swimmers working hard. Kids are seen enjoying swimming here which is not easy. Swimming for five hundred metres is fine, but here swimming is going on for a stretch of 2 km."

Annapoorna, a participant on the occasion mentioned, "I took part in mixed double kayaks and bagged the second prize. It was a very tough competition. This festival happens every year but last year did not happen due to coronavirus pandemic."
