Inauguration: Sinchana 2024, an inter-departmental Cultural Extravaganza

The grand inauguration of Sinchana 2024 took place on 16th November, 2024, with esteemed guests Mr. Vismaya Vinayak, renowned film actor and director, and Mr. Mahesh Marne, artist, gracing the occasion. They were joined by Mr. Devadas Hegde, Trustee; Dr. S S Injaganeri, Principal; Dr. Lawrence Fernandes, Associate Dean of Student Welfare; Mr. Naveen Pilar, Coordinator of Art and Culture and Ms. Abhijna Chouta, Student Coordinator for Art and Culture. The event was marked by a symbolic ‘Chande’ drum beating, signifying the vibrant spirit of the festival.

In his inaugural address, Mr. Vismaya Vinayak, recalling his memorable visit to Sahyadri while shooting the Tulu movie ‘Rang’, encouraged students to embrace cultural activities alongside academics. He said, “College days are the best time to learn something unique, get inspired by art, step onto the stage, make mistakes, and yet take part, learn the essential skills of a life full of art.” Adding a touch of entertainment to his speech, he delighted the audience with a lively performance of ‘Premanaathe Paasu aathe’ song from one of his movies.

In his Presidential Remarks, Dr. S. S. Injaganeri reflected on the essence of Sinchana, describing it as a call to “sprinkle and spread the goodness, richness, and talent of culture throughout the community.” He emphasized that “Culture is the soul of a nation.” While our nation has made great strides in developing materialistic culture through technology, there remains significant scope for growth in non-materialistic culture, such as values and ethics. He highlighted how events like Sinchana play a vital role in bridging this gap. In conclusion, Dr. Injaganeri described Sinchana as a pathway to fostering value-based, harmonious living on campus. He urged students to actively participate in all activities, encouraging them to approach every endeavor with enthusiasm and dedication to achieve excellence.

The event began with an invocation by Ms. Abhijnya and Ms. Shreelakshmi. Dr. Lawrence J. Fernandes, Associate Dean (Student Welfare), delivered the welcome address, while student representative Ms. Abhijna Chouta proposed the vote of thanks.
