UCBS Shimla gearing up for “Rhapsody : Relive the Revolution 2K16″– 3-day Mega cultural fest, Registrations open
Last week, in Campus Watch, Himachal Watcher had posted a brief review of six of the top socio-cultural/technical cultural festivals held at some of the best college and varsity campuses in Himachal Pradesh. Though, in Himachal these campus fests are underestimated and remain limited to respective campuses, they are, indeed, the true glimpse of standards of any educational institute. In fact, best institutes celebrate these fests with equal enthusiasm. These fests are stress-busters- vent for talents and platforms for budding dancers, musicians, actors and artists.
We have an upcoming three-day cultural event – “Rhapsody: Relive the Revolution”- an annual cultural fest to be held at HP University Auditorium.
