The Literary
and Debating Club is one of the oldest clubs of our Institute. L&
D conducts a variety of literary events and a host of interesting and
creative competitions within the campus. L& D also organizes workshops
on different topics ranging from Personality Development to Photography.
Eminent personalities from the respective fields handle these sessions.
L&D holds
weekly programmes in English, and other languages where students can train
themselves for improved public speaking, writing , mental ability and
organizational talents. At times, public speaking and English improvement
classes are organized as part of the club activity.
The club conducts
a cultural programme "Debutante", every year, exclusively for
the first years. "Debutante" truly lives up to its name and
is looked upon by the entire college community. It provides the newcomers
of the college, a platform to showcase their talent and familiarises them
with the rich array of neo-cultural events.
Among the other
events, "Chrysalis" stands apart as the only Inter-branch fiesta
where the 2nd years and the 3rd years test their literary talent. The
typical L&D events are Debate, Creative writing,Extempore,Declamation,
Shogun & Elle (Personality Contest), Dumb-charades, Just A Minute,
TDH, Block & Tackle, Movie Spoof, Rock Mime etc.
Another prestigious
event for the Whiz kids is the Ramesh Memorial Quiz, which is conducted
annually. Major workshops we have conducted last year are the ones on
Newspaper preparation( from editorial to printing, everything encapsulated)
and Photography .
The very existence
and success of the club over such a long period has been possible only
because of our strenuous efforts to bring out the best in everyone and
not to decide who is the best . The rest is well said in our motto "Deeds,
Not Words".
