Diamond
Jubilee Festivities – Gearing Up
As XISS gears up for its Diamond Jubilee Festivities, a plethora
of events, touting to have something for everyone, has been finalized. The four day event will kick off on February 14 with a Marathon aiming to propagate awareness for a sustainable future.
The day will also feature a Tribal
Culture Extravaganza which will include bands of dancers showcasing local
tribes and their cultural heritage.
Day
2 of the Diamond
Jubilee week will have local bands performing for the masses. XISS' very own Maxis will also convene to show their
musical chops. A dance competition ‘Tap your Toe’ is also scheduled late
in the day. Students from various domains will gather to present their research
papers on how management can best serve to achieve sustainability. Since the
presenters have been advised to collate data from the real world, the
presentation promises to establish a stark relationship between what lies in
journals and the ground reality.
Day 3 promises to be filled to
the brim with festivities. First up we will have Crossroads - an event aimed at testing the participants' mettle.
The event promises to showcase individuals and their decisions in the face of
adversity. Activities running the gamut
from Photography and Face Painting to Rangoli aim to invite individuals to try their hand and venture out
of their comfort zone. The famous treasure hunt by the name Scavengers will ensure the busybodies
be occupied. Late in the day, Politicomania
will take centre stage, where students and the audience will have a taste of
politics done right, in a way of ad hoc political units and their manifestoes. Nukkad Natak bears the task of bringing
social injustices to the forefront, all the while keeping the crowds
entertained. On this day, eminent scholars are invited to share their insights
on various measures one must take to achieve sustainability. These scholars,
with their years of research and investigation, will certainly help hit the
message home.
The final day of a week full
of festivities will include a Flash Mob
organized by students, so if you suddenly find everyone dancing just join the
crew! The event promises to be refulgent in its splendor. The much awaited
event by the name of Mr. and Ms. Diamond
will showcase participants being judged on various parameters to determine who
gets the coveted title. Various participants will be vying to have the room
come unglue with their stand up routine. The day will be brought to a close
with various cultural events showcasing XISS' efforts to keep management and
the real world, in tandem.
All in all, XISS' Diamond
Jubilee week is shaping up to be a delight, for participants and audience
alike. XISS has always managed to be at the forefront of activities when it
comes to ensuring social justice and upliftment of the disenfranchised. XISS
has indubitably played its part in becoming the voice of the voiceless in its
60 years of existence and shall long continue to do so. The picking up of the
social mantle by XISS has translated many other institutes follow suit
investing them for the betterment of the social construct.
The festivities kept in the
fold, hold promise to be fresh in the memory of those involved.
