The End Result

Truly, I feel, just like my students, the joy of getting an excellent grade. Our University, Symbiosis International University, was being assessed by NAAC, the accreditation wing of UGC of India.  As I posted earlier, the peer review process was a discovery and in a way an internal journey of what we are.  And what’s more, 13 Symbiosis institutes went through a similar process to get a combined grade ‘A’.  This achievement was an all-round score as there were interactions with faculty, staff, students, alumni and parents. This has been a totally unifying process instilling new enthusiasm to excel further!
 
Yet, our journey of quality just begins! But, recognition makes one run!

Eklavya… street plays a student initiative

January and February have been so full of activities that my blog post has remained behind.
 
Certainly one of the things that stands out, is a student club called Eklavya, totally initiated by students and an act of reaching out to people around.  Some of our theatre-oriented students got the bug and also got others enthused about street plays. Of course conscience prevailed.  A club was born and named Eklavya.   As they say, success leads to success.  SCIT’s street play “Every vote counts!” in the intercollegiate competition at SID, was the winner of the first prize. We all loved to watch it at our National seminar.  It really made us think.
 
They were at Mood-I, SIIB, SCMHRD….. Soon, fired by the response, Eklavya organized a short festival of street plays just for the students of the campus in our beautiful auditorium.  No need to say it was jam packed.  I must say Symbi students know what to appreciate when they see.
 
Eklavya is again taking off! Great going, Guys!
