With Theme ‘Animac-Evoke Your Inner Child’ School of Social Work-Roshni Nilaya, Mangaluru Hosts ‘Expressions 2019’- a National Level Inter-Collegiate Talent Hunt on 19-20 September

Mangaluru: School of Social Work-Roshni Nilaya-Mangaluru has given ample opportunities to the students to take part in various co-curricular activities, sports, also in academics. The Institution has also given a chance to the students of other colleges to participate in various contests, thereby unleash their hidden talents and excel. And now once again by hosting ” EXPRESSIONS 2019″ which is an extension of this tradition as the quest for talent spreading its wings and beckoning more talents from other Colleges, from Karnataka and other states from India. This Talent Fest will challenge the students with the theme “Animac’- Evoke Your Inner Child”, and the idea behind the theme is to reminiscence one’s childhood days, during the 2-day fest which was inaugurated today, 19 September and culminates on 20 September. This National Level Inter-Collegiate Talent Hunt comprises of various competitions for the students to challenge themselves with each other.

Roshni Nilaya has always insisted on the integral formation and spares no effort to produce balanced persons in the best sense of the term. In keeping with this tradition, the College wishes to help students rise to excellence. “EXPRESSIONS is one such platform that raises the Intellectual, Creative, and Cultural talents of the students to new heights. This year, with the theme “Animac- Evoke Your Inner Child” will bring back memories of childhood days watching cartoons on TV or reading comic books, and make oneself feel that they are still in their childhood. 19 Colleges from Mangaluru, DK, Udupi, other parts of Karnataka, and a couple of them from other states are all ready to vie for the trophies in various categories.

There are twelve spectacular events planned under this Talent Hunt, namely- Ice Breaker, Stress Interview, Quiz, Cooking without Fire, Battle of Bands, Caricature, Fashion Show, Mock Press, Treasure Hunt, Photography, Creative Writing, and Group Dance, all related to the Theme which will be held on both the days with great zeal and enthusiasm. The inauguration of ‘EXPRESSIONS 2019’ was done by chief guest – Vivek Alva, the Managing trustee of Alva’s Education Foundation- Moodbidri, along with other dignitaries on the dais, namely- Dr Olinda Pereira- Founder Principal of Roshni Nilaya; Ms Juliet C J- Principal, Roshni Nilaya; Dr Jacintha D’Souza- Former Principal, Roshni Nilaya; Ms Sarik Ankitha- Staff coordinator/Welfare Officer; Miss Aysha Mayza-President of student council; Miss Swathi-Cultural Secretary; and Miss Sowjanya- Sports Secretary.

Prior to the inauguration, the programme began with a prayer by Vivian and group, followed by the welcome address by Ms Sarik Ankita. Briefing of the Fest was done by Aysha Meyza. In his inaugural address, chief guest Vivek Alva said, “I am overwhelmed to be here as a chief guest, also that I am a great follower of Roshni Nilaya. While many of the students passed out of this institution are serving at Alva’s Institutions in various capacities. While this Fest is organized, there should be some practicability brought out. I do like the theme-“Evoke Your Inner Child”, where even though we are grown up as adults we still can show being as a small child, and reminiscence our childhood days”.

“You need to unleash the power that is hidden within you. Don’t think of getting older or feel older, think of remaining young and active. This event is aimed at identifying your inner child. When we have a ‘young lady of 94 years here on stage, Dr Olinda Pereira, who is still bubbling with enthusiasm and activeness, don’t you think we should also follow in her footsteps? She is still active as a child? We need to emerge forward and not backward. Also more than theory, we need to engage ourselves in practicals, because these days when companies hire they look for co-curricular credits/practicals more than your academic marks. When there is so much goodness and energy at Roshni Nilaya, make sure you grab all the opportunities when they are available. So Be Creative, Be Initiative, Be your own and not follow others, and make your dreams come true” added Vivek Alva.

The Principal of the College Ms Juliet C J congratulating the conveners and energetic students said that there is magic in the campus and Expressions is an event to feel the magic, and it is a platform to blossom and bloom and discover one’s talent. She also urged the students to set new challenges, help one another, to remain united and eliminate all evils and build a strong country. The chief guest and all the dignitaries on the dais also unveiled the trophies, which was done in a unique style. The vote of thanks was proposed by Ms Swathi, and the programme was compered by Ms Nashma Khatija, the Academic Secretary of Roshni Nilaya.

The Valedictory will be held on 20 Sept at 4.30 pm in the college auditorium, with Pruthvi Amber-Sandalwood and Coastalwood actor and Producer Sandesh Raj Bangera, as chief guests. In conclusion, EXPRESSIONS 2019 has come up with a huge assemblage of expressions, experience and entertainment to create an intellectual and cultural unison. The participants will embark together on a voyage of excellence as the journey ahead is filled with promises and endless possibilities for talented students to put their benchmark in the fields of their choice. No doubt, ‘Expressions’ has earned immense popularity and the College attributes it to the benevolent participation and cooperation. Let’s all Celebrate Together!
