The Students of Batch 2022-24 and 2023-25, along with the students of SCIT, conducted the Onam Celebrations at SIC Campus. Student Activity Committee (SPARSH) from SIIB took the initiative to conduct the event in collaboration with the Cultural Activities Committee of SCIT.
The main objective of Celebrating Onam was to encourage students to learn about different cultures and traditions. The students started the day by preparing the flower rangoli, known as “Pookallam” in Malayalam, in the atrium of SCIT. Later, a traditional Onam Lunch, known as “Onam Sadya,” was arranged for SIIB, SCIT, and SCMHRD staff and students. A delicious menu filled with authentic Kerala-style cooking was served to them. In the evening, we conducted a cultural event where students from SIIB and SCIT showcased their singing and dancing talents through some amazing cultural performances. The “Tug of War” event was the highlight of the day. The competition between SIIB and SCIT put the crowd on their feet and everyone cheered for all the participants.
Students really enjoyed and were proud to be a part of the great cultural evening, setting a positive mindset for cherishing the “Unity in Diversity” of our nation and being a part of this celebration. The students successfully conducted the event this year and continued the tradition followed by the senior batches of SIIB.
