Himachal’s 12 districts with their cultural heritage on stage: HPU SCA mega cultural event 2014
The two day biannual mega cultural event by HPU SCA starts on April 4. Those, who associate this marvelous event with some specific student organization or with student politics, are definitely mistaken. HW had been there, and had posted some images from SCA function in 2013.
For the past couple of weeks, over 540 students have been preparing to present the cultural heritage of Himachal and the local talents at the crowd packed HPU auditorium.
The two day function presents Himachal’s folk dances like Kullu Naati, Lauhal- Garfi, Jhamakhada, Sirmauri Naati, Chamba folk dance, Gidda, Mandiyali Luddi, Ladakhi dance etc.

For good laughs, the students present the local theatrical forms of sarcastic comedy like Karyala and Makhaul. You can witness the local dialects, traditional dresses, and glimpses of life in Himachal.
That’s not all. The students come out with incredible plays, mimes, skit, and choreographs during this two day event. What makes this mega event a must watch show is the rigorous rehearsal session, which usually take over two weeks of hard work from the students. It’s a complete HPU branded production.
The aim is to preserve Himachal’s cultural heritage and to provide an opportunity for others to witness the same on a single stage, thus, strengthening the sense of cultural integrity of Himachal. Also, the plays and choreographies come out with very strong messages regarding the social, religious, and political evils. The event will conclude on April 5 with a rocking jam-session at the end of the day.

Shimla-Crossing milestones in academics, disabled students of Himachal Pradesh continue to achieve what is otherwise considered insurmountable for them.
Eleven differently-abled students have cleared UGC’s National Eligibility Test (NET). Two of them qualified for the Junior Research Fellowship. Five of these students are visually impaired.
It’s important to mention that disabled students had to fight a legal battle to claim their right to higher education in Himachal Pradesh University. Even after ‘The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill – 2016’ was passed, the students had to fight for its implementation as the government did not make it easy for them.
Two students who qualified for the JRF include Saveen Janha, an M.Phil in Hindi, and Pankaj Sharma, P.hD in Tourism Administration. Both are physically disabled, informed Ajai Shrivastava, a member of the State Advisory Board on Disability and HPU Executive Council (EC).
Indu Kumari, a visually impaired student, who is pursuing her M.A. in Political Science, cleared the NET examination in her very first attempt. Similarly, visually impaired Roma Negi, a resident of Rampur, has cleared the exam in History in her first attempt. She wants to pursue her P.hD from HP University.
Other names include Anuj Kumar (Economics), Vinod Sharma (Political Science), Jasbir Lubanand (Political Science), Vinod Sharma Yogacharya (Yoga), Priyanka Thakur (Law), Ajay Kumar (History). Some of these students have cleared the NET examination twice. Raj Kumar is a Ph.D in Education and has cleared the NET exam in the same. He had also passed the NET examination in History and this time cleared the exam in Political Science.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Sikander Kumar has congratulated all these students and appreciated their hard-work despite facing hardships due to their disability. He said these students have brought laurels to the State.
