Parikrama 1.0 ignites Sarsuna College’s collective cultural spirit

After several years, the students of Sarsuna College successfully organised the college social, giving it the name of Parikrama 1.0, on 29 January 2026. The programme was organised and attended with much enthusiasm and bonhomie. The students of Sarsuna College, under the able guidance of the College Governing Body President, Ashok Deb, supported by the competent governance of the College Principal, Dr Gopal Chandra Mandal, organised the programme within a very short preparatory period. They were actively supported in their endeavour by the eminent social worker, Sreedip Das. An organising committee of the students was formed to successfully organise the event, which was led from the front by student representative Abir Deb, a current student of the college.

The principal of Sarsuna College, in his welcome address, began the evening on an auspicious note by reminding everyone of Swami Vivekananda’s philosophy of the karma yogi. He said that this was a karma yoga by the students as they had put their utmost effort to organise such a gala event within a few days. He wished that every beat of the drum and every note of music would touch the inner core of the students. His words were supported by the IQAC Coordinator, Pintu Kumar Maji and Teachers’ Council Secretary, Sanjib Kumar Gupta in their brief addresses.

The event became a confluence of education and culture due to the presence of guests like the educationalist Bhaskar Mahanayak, Principal, Vivekananda College, Thakurpukur, and others. The programme was well attended by all the teaching and non- teaching staff of the college.

It was heartening to see a well-disciplined but enthusiastic crowd of more than 8000 youngsters rise to the beat of the music. More than 600 guests were also present. All the dignitaries praised the efforts of the students in putting together such a remarkable show in such a short time. The performers of the evening, Prithibi, Snigdhajjt and Liveline, were well appreciated by all. Parikrama 1.0 ended amid a lot of cheer and optimism.
