“This event is the second of its kind we have organized in the college and with the excitement and the sense of unity it promotes among the students body, we know this has come to stay. It is such environment we provide to students to learn in order to attain their goals in life” he mentioned.

Activities organized during the event included a drama performance, float, francophone night, football tournament, a fashion show and a grand durbar where different countries showcased their cultures.
