A total of 569 students participated in the event. Of the total, 552 participants have successfully lit the lamps whereas 17 failed to light them. The event was organised by Vandemataram Foundation at Aksharavanam Education Research Centre at Kalwakurthy, Mahabubnagar district recently.
Dr Vangeepuram Sreena thachary, a Guinness World Record holder among other dignitaries, announced that record was measured by the number of oil lamps that have been successfully lit simultaneously at the same location. He explained that the Guinness authorities have clearly explicated the international guidelines for setting the record.
The participants had to light up only one oil lamp and 30 seconds time was given to do so. Indian Revenue Service officer Balaram Naik, chief guest for the event, congratulated students and Vandemataram Foundation team for coming up with such an idea.
