The annual college fest of XLRI - Ensemble Valhalla - 2022 kicked off on a virtual mode on Friday.
Continuing the tradition, the theme of the fest this year is ‘Realm of Dreams’- Build your own reality that instigates people to plunge into everything beyond ordinary.
The festival was officially launched by Bollywood star R Madhavan, who virtually addressed the XLRI fraternity along with the presence of college authorities and the students.
He fondly remembered his days in his hometown Jamshedpur and spoke about how the rapidly changing times have exposed people from all walks of life to the global culture and tradition.
Emphasizing the spirit of ‘Do good; do well’, Madhavan stressed on the importance of manoeuvring life by upholding the values of compassion and respect and being a successful person rather than a successful professional.
The inaugural speech was followed by the release of the Ensemble Valhalla 2022 schedule, detailing the 30 plus events and live performances by artists like Rahul Dua, Ash King, Javed Ali and Bhuwin Khursija for the three-day fest which will conclude on March 6.
Ensemble-Valhalla is XLRI's annual cultural, sporting, and management festival.
It attracts a large number of participants from B-schools across the country. The festival includes nine flagship, 17 sports and 22 cultural events including a speaker's conclave called Idea Summit, where veterans from all walks of life will gather in enlightening discussions.
