Bennett celebrates Dusshera with no plastic effigy

Bennett University played its part in conserving the environment by burning an eco-friendly Raavan on the occasion of Dusshera, the Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil. The effigy was created completely out of waste material collected from within the college which included waste paper and old decorations from previous events, but no plastic.

The effigy of Raavan was burnt on the night of Suro Ka Samelan 2.0, a night of music and dance which was a collaboration between Spic Macay, the classical dance, music and art club of Bennett University and Advaita, the music club of the university. The second edition of the wonderful partnership was as huge a success.

This night of mesmerising musical renditions started with hundreds of students gathering and eventually singing their hearts out. Everyone, carried away with the beauty and serenity of the event, gathered in huge numbers, with all their friends to be a part of the troupe and everyone sang along to all kinds of songs, from the most recent chartbusters to hits of the golden era.

“The event was a complete blast. We rarely ever see students come together in such numbers and enjoy themselves without worrying about anything else. It was a perfect way to unwind after our hectic schedules and especially helped us beat those Monday blues,” said Saumyata Tyagi, 2nd year law student.

More than the audience, it was satisfying for the organizing teams of both the clubs to have given the university and its students such a splendid evening. “After the success of the event last year, we knew this was the best way to bring the students together, especially with the festival season around the corner. And the event ended on such a happy note when all students started singing and dancing, exactly what we wished for,” said Rupalika Johri, Joint Secretary of Spic Macay.
