colleges and also in the strength of participants. Therefore, it was divided

five thousand students take part in the youth festival with all their enthusiasm
and zeal.
The Objective of the Department of Youth
Welfare:
The department aims at providing students with cultural
environment so as to shape their alround personality and develop their physical,
mental, social, aesthetical and spiritual dimensions and cultivate basic human
qualities like honesty, integrity, industriousness and tolerance. So that they
may prove to be our cultural custodians and make wonderful citizens of our great
nation.
Response of youth to youth
festivals:
Youth! Youth! How buoyant are the
hopes, they turn,
Like marigolds towards the sunny
side.
- Jean Ingelow
Of course, our youth always turns to the sunny side of our
youth festivals like marigolds to blossom fully, to grow perfectly and to shine
out distinctly. They expand the horizons of their talent, their skills and their
expertise through the pilgrimage of youth festival every year. Youth festival
for them is a fulfilling, sustaining and developing artistic experience through
which they take an arrow-like flight towards their grandest goal and distinct
artistic aim. So, they always desire, aspire and avail this excellent
opportunity. That offer them a sound platform to exhibit the endless reservoir
of their unexpressed abilities and to showcase the complete menagerie of their
unfathomed capabilities and unexplored dreams. Let us wish them an ever-shining
future and ceaseless artistic advancement.
