It’s a space meant for students to hangout and engage in talks. “It’s a creative space, it will help the students open their minds and think beyond the box. Though it has boundaries, it is set to have no boundaries,” said Anupama Chugh, Senior Manager, Student Welfare Office, Bennett University.

The work to build the lounge began on December 2, 2022, and involved 30 students from the university. “We started working last semester with our first event - 'be a part of out art'. It was based on - best out of waste, in which, around 30 students, including our core members, participated. But the major work began in January," said Vaibhavi Sharma, president of Silhouette, the university’s fine arts club.

Vaibhavi said that her team wanted to create the resonance of “home away from home” in the décor.

The decor of the lounge aims to create the resonance of a “home away from home”.

The lounge is divided in different themes. “The first area of the lounge, that is when you enter it, is based on a musical theme, hence the CD wall and the CD table tops. That is followed by an area for people who love reading books, then there is a vintage-based aesthetic, and finally there is the love theme, the reds and the greens,” Vaibhavi said.

The lounge aims to enhance the spirit of inclusivity. A space inside Bennett where students can come, relax and just have fun.

To celebrate the launch of the Rangeela Club, Bennett University's Sunset Movie Club also organised a screening of the 2016 romantic comedy-drama movie La La Land.
