IIMT’s Cultural Festival- ‘Celebrations’, Feb 25th, 2012 IIMT organised it’s Cultural Festival “Celebrations” on February 25th, 2012 at Epicentre Gurgaon. This day witnessed joyous celebrations of all the energy that IIMT family represents. This festival fostered IIMTs belief in
the positive effect of cultural integration and exchange. The Cultural Festival was indeed, a celebration of creativity and talent of IIMT’s student community. The fest had students showcasing their talents individually and in groups. The cultural extravaganza began with Ganesh Vandana and moved on towards a fabulous display of joy, as IIMT students performed professionally choreographed Western and Indian Dance. Some students sang for the audience, some recited poetry, and some sizzled on the stage in the very stylish fashion show. And this is not all, students also enacted a very unique, dramatic musical play‘Chanakya’. It was delightful to revisit Takshila, the ancient centre for learning, where the revered teacher Chanakya, offered to the world the knowledge bank which we call the – Chanakyaniti. About 300 people including Parents and Alumni graced the occasion with their presence.

Students performed Indian Classical Dance with the Ganesh Vandana and mesmerised everyone with their grace. After this, students spilled the magic and happiness that dancing brings with it. ‘IIMT Rockers’, the students’ dance group at IIMT presented a fusion of old and new, a fusion of hip hop and jazz, a fusion of dance and entertainment, with an absolutely upbeat and a rocking performance of Western Dance.
