He emphasized that extra-curricular activities play pivotal role in physical and
mental growth. He shared that we believe in arranging co-curricular and extra-curricular
activities for our students to provide them leisure hours and to engage them for
their learning.
The objective of Student Week is to engage students in healthy activities which
are important for their grooming and personality development. As per previous semesters
practice, students didn't participate in extra-curricular activities. They took
it as holidays during whole week therefore, in order to ensure maximum participation
of students, both academic and extra-curricular activities are linked with each
other. Instead of taking this week as holidays, the students must participate in
different activities with full enthusiasm. He advised and encouraged all students
for their active involvement.
He further shared that its’ not a matter of three days or one week only, its matter
of whole semester as several events/ activities are arranged on regular basis during
whole semester.
After inaugural session, several activities/ events were arranged under the flagship
of Event Management Society, Music Club, Literary Society, Dramatic Society, Calligraphy
and Fine Arts Society, Science Club, ASHRAE, Adventure Club, Health Society, Sport
Club, and Media Society.
The Student Week will be concluded with arrangement of Spring Festival & Cultural
