Ganesha Festival & Ethnic Day
On 17.9.2016 members of the Student Council and faculty coordinator Mr. Manoj Kumar V Hiremath, organized Ganesh Chaturthi in our college premises. The significance of celebrating the festival was not a religious one. Bal Gangadhar Tilak recognized the wide appeal of the deity Ganesha as “the god for everybody”, and popularized Ganesh Chaturthi as a national festival in order “to bridge the gap between Brahmins (Upper Caste) and ‘non-Brahmins’, and generate nationalistic fervor among people in Maharashtra against the British colonial rule. Diversity makes the world beautiful. In the era of westernization as people drift
away from traditions and culture, events like ethnic day provide an opportunity for our youths to appreciate the beauty of our own culture. Students depicted the tradition and culture of different states of India and enthusiastically participated in the event.
