Another interesting event also planned is the Snakes and Ladders game, but with a twist. In this particular game, one will have an option to buy various types of insurance to cover themselves against risk.

Last year, the campus saw 15 colleges from Navi Mumbai and Mumbai participate in the festival. Nearly 700 students attended the fest, taking part in various competitions and functions. The organisers are hopeful of attracting a larger crowd at this year’s instalment.

“We are very excited about the festival and we have put in our best efforts. We are expecting more participation from every college in Navi Mumbai and Mumbai,” said Babu Nayagaraju, head of the core organising committee.

Bhavna Saripalli, another member from the core committee, said, “The events which we have organised are related to our syllabus. Considering that we deal with stock and commodity markets, we were keen on having games based around it. We hope that those coming to attend the fest enjoy it.”

The professors too have been cooperative in helping the students organise the festival, said the students. In fact they said thatthey had been encouraging them to think out of the box.

“The highly energetic students toil hard and deserve to be appreciated for their talents. College festivals are the most effectiveway of bringing young people under the same platform, enhance their social interaction and facilitate an exchange of practicalknowledge, ideas and thoughts,” said Professor Bhumika More, coordinator, BBI department.u00a0
