Xavier Institute for Tribal Education (XITE) College in Gamharia, Seraikela, showcased the achievements of Jharkhand, which completed 21 years since it was carved out of erstwhile Bihar.
The presentation was part of weekend activities to mark Statehood Day, which was observed on November 15.
“It was a combination of literary and cultural programmes. Through the video show, we wanted the students to know about the rich cultural heritage of Jharkhand and its progress. We also wanted to showcase the cultural diversity of the state through a cultural programme and pay homage to the leaders who made sacrifices for a separate state of Jharkhand,” said Sushmita Choudhary Sen, assistant professor of commerce and business administration, XITE.
The over-30-minute video made by the students of the institution showed the growth in GDP and government initiatives in various sectors. The second phase of the show highlighted the rich cultural legacy of the various tribes of the state.
The video presentation also gave information about the places of interest for tourists and investors, including the various mineral resources and the industries located across Jharkhand.
The students took part in a quiz session based on the video presentations.
In the cultural round, students dressed in traditional attire performed showing various dance forms of Santhali, Ho, Oraon and Munda tribes.
XITE College organises weekend activities to focus on the holistic development of students.
