NEW DELHI: Vivekananda School Journalism and Mass Communication, Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies, Pitampura, is hosting its annual media festival Spandan on November 5,6 and 7, 2015. This year Spandan aims to be bigger and better, and has come up with a plethora of events which are an amalgamation of culture and media.
Over 300 students from the institute participated in an on-ground promotional activity. The students organized a choreographed dance performance combined with an impromptu routine at Connaught Place, New Delhi, at 7:30 am on Sunday, November 1, 2015. The dance routine was based on the festival anthem, ‘Yeh Spandan hai humara’, composed and performed by students. The enthusiasm of the students coupled with the happy milieu of the early winter morning encouraged spectators to join the students in their foot-stamping performance.
People from different generations showed interest in the festival. Mrs Vishalakshi, 60, was eager to know more about Dastangoi, a folk story-telling tradition. Spandan 2015 aims to promote cultural understanding and appreciation by hosting events, both competitive and non-competitive, which give a glimpse into India’s rich cultural fabric.
