Stepping into college is not just about academics—it's about new beginnings, friendships, and discovering yourself in a community of like-minded individuals. And what better way to celebrate this than with a grand fresher’s event? Vishwakarma University’s highly anticipated Aarambh 2024 was nothing short of a spectacular introduction to college life, offering students an exciting platform to showcase their talents, connect with peers, and dive headfirst into a vibrant university culture.
Lighting the Lamp of New Beginnings
The day began with the hosts inviting prominent leaders from the university to the stage to officially kick off the event. The stage glowed as the lighting of the lamp ceremony unfolded, a symbolic gesture to usher in the positivity and wisdom that would define the coming years for the fresh batch of students.
In attendance were distinguished guests including Dr. Siddharth Jabade, Vice Chancellor of Vishwakarma University; Prof. (Dr.) Kedar Sant, Member Secretary, Board of Management; Prof. (Dr.) Chetan Kapadnis, Dean, alongside other esteemed deans and faculty members. Their presence set the tone for a day that would not only be fun but deeply meaningful.
Mosaic: A New Platform for Student Voices
One of the most exciting moments of the day was the unveiling of Mosaic, the university’s student magazine, curated by the student council. This first edition is a labor of love, providing a space for students to express themselves through writing, art, photography, and more. The magazine is a testament to the creativity and passion of Vishwakarma University’s student body, and its release on the freshers’ day made it even more special. It was a proud moment for both students and faculty as they flipped through its pages, seeing the hard work and dedication that went into its making.
A Showcase of Talent: Cultural Extravaganza
After the formalities, the event quickly shifted into high gear with a mesmerizing showcase of student talent. Whether it was first-year students nervously taking the stage or senior students confidently performing, Aarambh was filled with cultural activities that brought the crowd to life. Dance performances had everyone tapping their feet, while soulful music connected hearts. Drama performances, full of humor and social messages, drew enthusiastic applause.
This variety of artistic expression didn’t just entertain—it highlighted the importance of nurturing talents outside the classroom. Vishwakarma University has always emphasized the holistic development of its students, and Aarambh proved to be the perfect canvas for this. Students took this opportunity to break out of their shells, share their passions, and bond with their peers over common interests.
The Pulse of the Event: Food, Art, and Entrepreneurship
While the stage saw performances, the university grounds were buzzing with activity as well. One of the most exciting elements of Aarambh was the stalls set up by students. These weren’t just any stalls—there were food and drink stalls that had people queuing up for delicious snacks, art stalls that displayed beautiful handmade pieces, and even jewelry stalls that showcased the students’ craftsmanship.
These stalls were also an example of the entrepreneurial spirit alive at Vishwakarma University. The students not only showcased their products but also marketed them, interacted with their peers and faculty as customers, and learned about running a small business in the process. The energy at these stalls was palpable, adding a new dimension to the day.
Clubs and Mentorship: The Support System Every Fresher Needs
One of the key highlights of Aarambh was the introduction of various clubs and departments under the student council. These clubs, spanning interests from photography to coding, are designed to foster talent and build a stronger connection between students and faculty. The freshers were introduced to these communities where they could further explore their passions, find mentors, and make lifelong friends.
It’s in these clubs where students find their second homes. Senior students, serving as mentors, took time to speak with freshers, guiding them through the exciting and sometimes overwhelming journey of university life. This mentoring system is a significant part of Vishwakarma University's culture, emphasizing the value of peer-to-peer learning, support, and collaboration.
A Day to Remember, A Journey Just Begun
As the sun set on a day full of laughter, performances, and meaningful connections, one thing was clear: Aarambh 2024 was a resounding success. It wasn’t just an event—it was the beginning of a new chapter for the freshers at Vishwakarma University. A chapter filled with opportunities for growth, creativity, and the forging of lifelong friendships.
The excitement from Aarambh will ripple through the academic year, reminding students that while college life can be challenging, it is also a place of joy, community, and endless possibilities. And as the freshers step forward into their new journey, they do so with the knowledge that they have the support of their peers, faculty, and mentors every step of the way.
Here’s to new beginnings, lasting friendships, and a bright future ahead!
