It’s that time of the year again when a multitude of college
from all over the country get together to participate in what is possibly the
biggest student competition in the country – The Youthfest. And this is also my
excuse for not being regular to post on the blog recently.
The Youthfest is a series of competitive events much like
the Olympics, but on a national and student level. Colleges from a majority of
Universities send in their entries to participate in events based on art,
theatre, literature, dance and music.
To participate at the national level stage though, the
participants get screened about three times at different intermediate levels.
Here are the levels:
Inter-College level
Inter-Zonal level
Zonal level
National level.
The first level events are hosted by a college in a city,
the second level in another college wherefrom the university selects their
team. The third level is hosted by a university in a university from any of the
four zones of the country and the fourth level is hosted by any one of the
eminent universities of the nation where the best competitors from each zone
gear up for national glory.
My college received an invitation to this year’s Youthfest a
week back, but the anticipation for the same was high long before that. The
preparations in many colleges begin in July, though the first level
competitions begin only in September. This is not only to gain the upper-hand
over local competition but also a matter of pride for those institutes who
advocate the all-round development of their students.
Rehearsals and practices have begun in almost all
disciplines and we hope that this we can do well for our new institute. Last
year this college won Gold in only one event, but this time, with the entrants
in many fields, we are sure of defending our previous title as well as
achieving even more of the same.
