Hyderabad, December 18, 2015: New Year Celebrations to arrive much before New Year this time in city. The event for this celebrations is ACT Fiber Net Sky Fest 2015, the biggest ever 5 Day Carnival, ever heard or witnessed in Hyderabad. The history will be created soon as it is all set to begin on 23rd December at Gachibowli Stadium. Packed with full of events, mesmerizing experiences and activities. It will go on for five days till 27th.

ACT Fibernet Sky Fest 2015 will be the Hyderabad’s biggest ever Carnival. It is planned in aid of Sparsh Hospice declared Jagadish Ramadugu. The response on social media and ticketing has been over whelming. And this is attributed to the cause as Sparsh is a first of its kind facility offering free Palliative care to the terminally ill patients.
Sparsh Hospice is a charitable initiative of Rotary Club of Banjara Hills, he added.
First time ever, Hyderabadis can explore skies of their own city in a hot air balloon. It will be a unique experience, only privileged few had until now on their trips abroad.
Sky-Waltz, India’s first and largest commercial hot air ballooning company is roped in for the festival. It is India’s first fully licensed and Government approved commercial Hot Air Balloon operation. Their experience and service is world class. It’s team consists of highly experienced commercial pilots from UK, Europe, India and USA, along with professionally trained operational staff and technical crew. It follows the globally recognised standards of safety and international operating systems and procedures.
Another feather in the cap of the festival is Para Jumping by Indian Air force. A recreational activity seen mostly on TV, but, never witnessed live in this city. This gives an exhilarating experience to people as they get to see Parajumpers jumping from aircrafts, returning fast to earth, making beautiful formations on the way back. The curiosity, nerve tingling experience one goes through watching these parajumpers safely risking their lives will be memorable for many for their life time.
Watching movies is routine, but watching midnight movies that too watching offbeat movies will be really a crazy idea. This will be a reality soon. Five offbeat movies will be screened at the fest. These include: Bahubali(Hindi) on the day of the inauguration on 23rd, Dil Dhadkne Do on 24th, Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari on 25th, Bajrangi Bhaijaan on 26th and Srimanthudu on 27th.
Music has great influence on all of us. It soothes the soul, adds fuel to mind and also fuels creativity. It can be an excellent engaging activity too. So it is made it the essential part of the ACT Fibernet Sky Fest 2015. Top performers/singers Sonu Nigam, Devi Sri Prasad, Badshah, R.P. Patnaik are lined up for the same.
Telangana is a melting point of culture and in that spirit concerts and movies are planned to appeal to people across the Board, informed Rani Reddy.
The Carnival Acts, the amusement, fun, entertainments activities are also lined up to captivate visitors. Some of these include: Michel Jackson Look alike, Lazeum Dance; Salsa, Mascots(Micky Mouse) etc, B-Boers Hip-Hop, Indian Carnival Dances, Fairy Wing Act, Acrobats, Arial Acts, Stick Dance, Clowns, Jumping Ropes, Juggling, Roller Balance, Illusionist Acts, Crystal Act, Fire Dancing Duo Acts, Solo Silk Show, Solo Hula Hoop and many other. At Rs 100/- , all this Carnival experience will be memorable for kids, adults and everybody in the family.
To shop till you drop may not just remain an idiom, but will be proved to be true in its meaning. Many shops, stalls are set up that you will be physically exhausted going around them.
All in all the entire fest is about the experience, ambience and celebration of Hyderabad culture and what have you.
ACT Fibernet Sky Fest 2015, is the biggest ever charity event. So, get ready to experience the best and most amazing rides and experiences of your life. It will remain as ‘the festival’ for the years to come.
ACT Fibernet is the title sponsor of the event.
It is to be organised in association with Government of Telangana, and many organisations.
The number of brands that have come forward and associated with the event has added to the scale of the event.
The concept is the brain child of Sparsh Hospice. With the kind of overwhelming response the organisers have been receiving, it will be an annual event which people in city will look forward to every year.
The objective of ACT Fibernet Sky Fest 2015 is to raise awareness of free palliative care and counselling, Sparsh Hospice has been providing since 2008 to terminally ill patients particularly cancer patients. It is not just the patients alone, their attendants are also provided with free food and accommodation
Sparsh Hospice is a 15 bedded hospital located in a rented building in Banjara Hills. This biggest ever fund raising festival is organised to generate funds to expand its scope by adding new facility. The Trust spends Rs 3.5 lakh running it every month. Now there is a huge demand to accommodate more patients. Every year nearly 20,000 people are dying in twin cities. The demand for such care is exploding. There is no care extended by government in this area. Hence, a new facility is an urgent requirement.
The event of this magnitude is planned to raise Rs 5.5 crore capital fund required to build its own premises and expand the capacity from current 15 to 50 beds. The trust has already approached government for a lease of land to construct the building, which is pending with the state government.
The trust also enjoys exemption of donations under 80G(50 %) and 35 AC(100% to the extent of Rs 5.5crore).
It also has FCRA(Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) permission from the Central Government to raise donations from foreign sources. Global organisations with local presence can donate for the cause and still can get tax exemption in their respective countries.
