The ADA will also engage a private agency to give concrete shape to the event for this it has invited applications through the Request for Proposal format to appoint an agency for the conceptualisation, designing, execution, and supervision of event management, as well as the development of temporary structures and related infrastructure for hosting the kite festival.
The entire process to select the agency is scheduled to be completed by January 8, following which a comprehensive plan for organising the International Kite Festival will be formulated.
Special arrangements will be made to welcome VVIPs and special invitees while volunteers will be deployed to ensure that the competitors and spectators have a pleasant experience.
The food counters at the venue will feature dishes made from millet with Awadhi flavours.
In addition, high-quality cameras will be installed along with sound arrangements for effective capturing of the event.
