Cultural Festival on ‘Unity in Diversity’ for Scholarship Holders

The main objective of these festivals is to create an understanding of the aesthetic and cultural values in order to appreciate
and understand the creative expressions of mankind through the ages and promote experience of beauty through sensory
perceptions. In the Festivals, special efforts are made to involve the youth in cultural development, to inculcate in them a spirit
of harmony and togetherness and to channelize youthful energy in creative and productive pursuits.

The students interact with eminent Gurus and scholars and practice under them to give a synchronized presentation during the
Festival. They are also taken on educational tours to places of cultural and natural importance during these programmes to show
how nature has inspired the creative genius of the visual artist, poet, musician or dancer and to motivate them for making efforts
to conserve our heritage at regional levels.
The Centre organised a National Cultural Festival titled ‘Unity in Diversity’ at Guwahati from December 02 to 08, 2013 in which
98 scholarship holders alongwith one escort each, participated from various parts of the country.
