Spark of creativity at fest hosted by Sanskriti University Mathura

Dance and drama to debate, Sanskriti University Mathura hosted Spark 2022, the annual techno-cultural fest, from March 11 to 12.

A thousand students participated in more than 35 competitions in the fields of Engineering, Management, Mass Communication, Hotel Management, Fine Arts, Law, Science and Technology and Fashion Designing.

Bollywood singer Stebin Ben brought the curtains down on the two-day offline fest with numbers like Baarish ban jaana, Rula ke gaya ishq tera, Ek tu hi toh hai, Mera dil bhi kitna paagal hai, Mere mehboob qayamat hogi and Thoda thoda pyaar.

Sachin Gupta, chancellor; Rakesh Premi, pro-vice-chancellor; and Meenakshi Sharma, OSD to chancellor; were present at the inaugural ceremony. “The objective of education is not just to impart academic knowledge, but also to ensure the overall development of students. Spark provides an unparalleled forum for the students to test their intellectual and artistic prowess. They get to exhibit their skills and talents. What makes this fest special is that it is an event fully organised by the students,” said Gupta.
