DNA covers ABSstract '08
Agnel Business Schools fest Abstract to begin on Sept 26
About 50 colleges affiliated to Mumbai University invited for the three-day management event
DNA Correspondent. Vashi
The festival season in the colleges is all set to begin and Abstract, the festival of Fr Agnels Business School, will probably be the show stealer because of its novelty. Being the silver jubilee of the college and 150 years of Mumbai Universitys existence, both the bodies have come together for the three-day management festival to be held on September 26, 27 and 28.
Abstract 08 has invited about 50 colleges affiliated with Mumbai University that would participate and also organize festivals.
The students have come up with this concept where every institute has been given a chance to organize one or two events in our campus. This would bring together management students from across the city. Meanwhile, it would give our college students a chance to manage a large scale event. They themselves will have to generate revenue and also manage it well, Director of the Institute Prakash Vaithilingam said.
He added that the proceedings from the event would be given to the Agnel orphanage Balbhavan.
The students are busy arranging the entries which they have received from more than 25 colleges. We have received huge response from colleges across city and have to screen the events. There are many events that have been sent by different colleges, said one of the core committee members, Prof Sridhar Iyer. He further said that this also acts as an ice breaker between the two batches of management students.
The students are also excited about organising the event and say that they do not miss the fact that they are not allowed to participate.
Some of the events that we have received are so exciting that we will miss the chance to participate in it, but then the excitement of organising is so much that we would hardly regret about it, said Khushboo Vora, a second year student and one of the committee members. The college has received response from institutes like Sydenham in Mumbai and DY Patil in Navi Mumbai.
