Rewarding the deserving

The day consisted of a prize distribution ceremony, where in students were awarded for their performances throughout the curriculum, along with a variety of cultural programmes. “Many proficiency prizes were given away for different subjects. The ones who passed out last year, also received awards,” said Shalini Priyanka, the Cultural Secretary of the college. “College day is also the day when you highlight the various events that took place throughout the year,” she added.

The president, Shalini Mathew, presented a report on the various activities undertaken by the college union. “The union had organised various inter and intra collegiate events throughout the year,” said Shalini Mathew.  “The union was felicitated as well and even teachers, who have served the college for over 25 years, were awarded,” she added. The students, who passed out last year, also got awards. There was an array of musical and dance performances as well. “It was a cultural medley, where in, all the teams from our college, that have performed inside and outside college, presented different shows,” said Shalini Priyanka.

While the North Eastern students of the college presented a Mizo dance, the traditional dance of Mizoram, the Indian and Western dance teams also shook a leg. Shalini Mathew, who is also a member of the Western acoustic team and the choir, also took part in the musical performances. “The Western acoustic team sang a medley of Michael Jackson’s hit tracks like Billie Jean, Beat It and Smooth Criminal,” she said.
