The Vivekanand Education Society Polytechnic (VESP), which
thrives over its merit holders in the MSBTE examinations, proved their mettle in
the extra-curricular activities arena by organising a cultural extravaganza
Sanskriti08.
The festival that took place on the college grounds on January
11-12, 2008, saw participants turning over in whopping numbers.Sanskriti kicked
off with their first event LAN gaming, with gaming enthusiasts competing against
each other in games like Counter Strike, FIFA and Need for Speed, with MCM
Lounge being the Gaming Partner.
The Art Attack event included events like Rangoli , Jewellery
making, Mehendi and salad competitions. One of the most innovative events was
Graffiti, where participants were given the freedom to draw pictures
reflecting the motto of the fest.
The main USP of the day was Sensex 08
where branches of Computer Technology (CM), Electronics and Telecommunication
(ET), Instrumentation (IS) and Industrial Electronics (IE) were listed as
companies and their stock prices fluctuated according to their points tally in
individual events. The teams were asked to sell their products with an
impressive marketing strategy.
The vibe that fluttered the campus was that of enthusiasm and
creativity. Sanskriti has given us a new dimension beyond academics, where we
students got the chance to plan, conceptualise, visualise, market and organise,
says Mihir Vora, Cultural GS of Sanskriti08.
This year the students presented the bollywood theme of Bombay
to Mumbai. The entire event was choreographed by students, and they were
allotted time for rehearsals. It was heartening to see so many sponsors coming
forward for this endeavour, and the amount of hard work put up by the
committee members and faculty is inexpressible, says Surendar Rawat, lecturer
of VESP and part of the organising committee.
Principal of VES Polytechnic, Radha Sivadas, said, It was a
moment of immense joy, because we inaugurated this fest on the eve of the silver
jubilee.
The chief guest Govind Bora, general manager, Apar Industries
graced the occasion by urging the students to adopt positive attitude through
his real time experiences.
The fest also saw the felicitation of its meritorious students
and the launch of its annual magazine, SHILP. Sanskriti is touted to be one of
the best-organised events in the recent past. With dedication and hard work of
the volunteers and the encouragement from the college fraternity, VESP hopes to
host the fest on a grander scale next year.
