Cultural Festival on ‘Unity in Diversity’ for Scholarship-holders

The main goal 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 experiences of beauty through sensory
perceptions. In the Festivals, special efforts are made to inolve 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 erudite scholars and practice under their guidance to give synchronized cultural
presentations 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 artists, poets musicians or dancers and to
motivate them for making efforts to conserve our heritage at regional levels.

The Centre organized a National Cultural Festival titled 'Unity in Diversity' at Chennai from October 12 to 18, 2015.
73 scholarship-holders alongwith their escorts participated from various parts of the country, in the 07 day long Festival.
