The spirit and colours at the events struck the chords in every heart when the 102 events took off one after another at numerous venues. Around 2,500 participants and an equal number of students from 22 colleges converged on the campus. This is the first time that both government and private medical colleges have competed together. All the four stages saw contestants putting their best foot forward in games, music, skits, plays, dance, talk and writing and art giving the judges a tough time.Nostalgia, in which students had to dance to the tunes created before 1980 was a big hit. Other popular programmes were whistling a song, self-portrait making, group dance, both male and female, classical dance and synchronised dancing.“It could have been better organised. The judgement was flawless though,” said a majority of the students. The home team said, “Some slips occurred for we were smaller in strength, about 500 students, but we did our best.” Each day was dedicated to a cause. The students launched an AIDS campaign on World AIDS Day, the inaugural day. December 2 was dedicated to National Pollution Prevention Day. A thought was given to to the differently-abled on December 3, International Day of Persons with Disabilities and December 4 marked Navy Day.
