Vision and You (VAY) Foundation and Marshall’s Youth Organisation on Sunday evening organised a charity show, “A cause to rock” at Gurajada Kalakshetram.

The performance of a rock band comprising engineering students was the mainstay of the programme.

Earlier singing of Janaganamana by hearing impaired students and a dance by physically challenged student, Pushpalata, won the applause of the audience.

Visakhapatnam West MLA Malla Vijay Prasad lauded VAY Foundation and Marshall’s Youth Organisation for their initiative to contribute to the cause of service.

He hoped they would continue to involve themselves in such activities.

Municipal Commissioner B. Ramanjaneyulu said the show organised for a good cause achieved its objective and complimented the quality of programmes.

VAY Foundation president Ganta Swamy said the foundation conducted several programmes to help poor students, women and the aged during the last two years.

The proceeds from the show would be spent on organising medical and blood donation camps.

Municipal Administration Regional Joint Director P. Ashajyothi, Symbiosys CEO O. Naresh Kumar, Mother Charitable Trust chairman Vikas Pandey and representatives of the youth organisation participated.
