Auditorium with 2000 seats to be built next year: VC
Tiruchi: Seven new events have been added this year to BDU FEST 2008 that will be held on the Bharathidasan University premises for the first time.
They constitute semi classical vocal solo, folk orchestra, creative dance, debate, poetry recitation, one act play and installation. The cultural festival will be held in the university hereafter. By next year, an auditorium which can accommodate 2,000 persons will be readied at a cost of Rs. 6 crore. The Finance Committee has accorded sanction, Vice-Chancellor M. Ponnavaikko told reporters on Tuesday.
Another uniqueness of this year’s cultural festival will be the procession / marchpast of participating teams. The best team will be honoured with a rolling trophy, which, however, will not be factored in the cultural competition. The events will be held at six venues in the university over three days from October 10.
The inauguration will take place at 4.30 p.m. in the Convocation Hall. The Vice-Chancellor will inaugurate the BDU FEST in the presence of Registrar T. Ramswamy. The university expects participation of nearly 3,000 students from 110 colleges in a total of 30 events - three in addition to the 27 events listed by the Association of Indian Universities, T. Kanagasabai, Coordinator, University Cultural Centre, said.
A total of 258 first, second and third prizes are in store, he said, adding that the Vice-Chancellor would present a special rolling trophy to the college to which the winner of Tamil elocution competition belonged. Prof. Ponnavaikko said that the university has sent a proposal to the UGC for starting four-year undergraduation programmes during the Eleventh Plan period. These programmes will facilitate cross-migration.
For instance, an undergraduate candidate pursuing Physics will be able to pursue M.Tech in Electronics, he said, adding that four-year university education is compulsory for students wishing to take up jobs or pursue post-graduation in United States.
