Katra, Dec 09: The Board of Cultural Activities (BCA) at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU), in collaboration with the Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture, and Languages (JKAACL) and the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), Jammu chapter, organized a vibrant Youth Festival centered around the pressing theme of “Drug Abuse Among Youth of Jammu and Kashmir.”
The festival commenced with an inaugural ceremony attended by distinguished guests, including Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) Pragati Kumar as the Chief Guest, Dr. Rakesh Thusoo, President of the BCA, and Dr. Kamini Pathania, Vice President of the BCA, Dr. Rahul Sharma, Cultural coordinator, along with other dignitaries.
Dr. Kamini Pathania welcomed the audience with a heartfelt address, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about drug abuse. The Vice Chancellor followed with an insightful speech, highlighting the role of youth in combating this societal issue.
The inauguration also featured mesmerizing classical and cultural performances by the talented students of SMVDU, setting the stage for a day filled with creativity and expression. The second half of the event witnessed a spirited showcase of talent through various inter-school competitions.
Inklet, a creative writing contest, challenged participants to pen down compelling narratives, while the Battle of Voices showcased powerful singing talents. A captivating dance competition explored themes of human emotions, leaving the audience spellbound.
The cultural evening was elevated by electrifying celebrity performances. Nishu Pandita and Group enthralled the audience with the Kashmiri folk dance ‘Roshuk,’ while Ram Dutta and Group delivered a soul-stirring rendition of the traditional art form ‘Gitro.’ Both these performances were sponsored by JKAACL. The grand finale featured an energetic performance by the renowned Sajan Musical Group, sponsored by ICCR leaving the crowd cheering for more. Dr. Rajesh Kumar and Mrs. Reena Slathia attended the show and congratulated the board for organising such a splendid show.
