“The event is a good break from our tough study routine and we are having a lot of fun. From the presentation of cultural items to the management of the show, the students are doing it all. The response of teachers is also encouraging,” Vishwadeep, a medical student, said.
Mr Amrit Nagpal, secretary of the managing society of the DMCH inaugurated the event today by lighting the lamp.
Dr Daljit Singh, Principal, DMCH, addressed the students and said the aim behind organising the event was to polish the talent of students and encourage them to participate in cultural activities for the overall development of personality.
The event opened with a brainstorming quiz conducted by Dr Jasdeep Singh. The neck-and-neck competition between five teams, all from the undergraduate batches, made it an interesting show. The team of batch 1999 won the quiz while the team of the 2002 batch came second. Dr J. L. Bassi and Dr Hemant Chopra were the judges.
Another attraction of the day was a competition on “Ad Fads” in which the students had to conceptualise and enact an advertisement based on a humorous concept of product/services like “garam matlad foka cola” and “Cherry Blossom dant manjan.” The excellent performance and humorous ideas left the audience in splits.
Batch 1999 won the first prize for its witty “crash airlines” while batch 2000 was declared second for “fikkamal jewellers.” The batch of 2001 was declared third for “TLCC health point.” Dr G. P. I. Singh, Dr K. K. Avasthi and Dr J. S. Sandhu were the judges for this contest.
Dr Sandeep Puri, Medical Superintendent and chairman of the cultural committee, said: “Debate, painting, solo songs and solo dance contests will take place tomorrow. The last day will be devoted to solo song, rangoli, skit group dance, duet song and mono-acting competitions. The event will conclude on the evening of January 31 with a prize distribution ceremony. The batch scoring the maximum points will be declared winner of the running trophy.”
