29-Jun-2021
College fests are a stimulus to creative personality, and thus make it the best and most memorable time of college lives. It is an amalgamation of entertainment and knowledge.
To counter these abnormal times, the students and faculty decided to digitize these Fests. And thus, was born the concept of the First Online Fest of Sahyadri called “Festivista” for the First-year Engineering students.
Festivista was held on 25th June 2021 starting at 6:00 PM in a complete ONLINE Mode through the ZOOM Platform. The entire event was conceptualized and executed by Student Co-Ordinator’s namely - Brandon Leo John & Ankith Marla.
The inauguration of Festivista was done by Dr. Rajesha S, Principal along with Prof. S S Balakrishna, Vice-Principal; Dr. Prashanth Rao, Head of Dept. of Basic Science and Ms. Pooja Rai, Admission Officer. The programme was conducted and managed by Mohiddin Azhaan Khan & Al Ashqan Babu who were the Master of Ceremonies for this event. Festivista had the perfect combination of Fun and Frolic. It started with a Welcome Address followed by Solo Singing, Magic Tricks, Anthakshari, Ukelele, Dumb charades, Beat Boxing, Dance, and Housie. Festivista brought back the long-missing smiles on the face of all students and portrayed FESTIVISTA as a revolt against the challenges posed by the pandemic. The curtains were drawn over this event at 10:00 PM and thus came an end to the Epic Fest.
