NAVRANG 2020 - Online Youth Festival

Image
 KUCTE, Adoor has organized an online Web In Arts, called "Navrang 2020". It was really an amazing and unforgettable experience. When we think of a youth festival, The festival isn’t just an assemblage of students from different places who compete under one roof. It’s also an intermingling of different cultures and customs, a platform for sharing ideas and thoughts, promoting national integration and communal harmony while manifesting a zest of friendliness and liveliness among themselves. The young charming students of KUCTE adoor has chucked away all the conventional thoughts by organizing it within a finger touch. Even I got an opportunity to participate in this festival. I have participated in an Extempore speech in English. I got second prize in the competition. I couldn't believe it because I had been competing with many talented students from other colleges. I am thankful to my teachers and students who helped throughout those days. 

Happy Teacher's Day 2020

Image
Teachers' Day is celebrated in India on the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a philosopher, scholar, and an exemplary teacher. He was the second president of India. Dr. Radhakrishnan had said, "Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day." The tradition of celebrating Teachers' Day started in 1962, in honor of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and all the teachers across the country. Teachers are the pillars of a country. They guide and shape the destiny of the students. They teach them to become better human beings. They are the reason behind the successful career of a student. Teachers like S.Radhakrishnan and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam are some of the renowned names that have given meaning to the word “teacher”. I am fortunate to have been blessed with such wonderful teachers who are always up for grooming the students into the finest individuals. I pray for their well-being and success, a...

Digital Onam Celebration 2020

Image
The proverb that was popular during the pre-COVID days means that people must eat Onam feast even if they have to sell their property. The pandemic has changed the very nature of Onam celebrations, but it has not lowered the spirit of the annual harvest festival. And people with penchant for wordplay have tweaked the adage to resonate with the changing times: Online Ayum Onam Aghoshikkanam , meaning everybody should celebrate Onam through online. Therefore our institution also planned to celebrate a low-key onam to bring back the joy and harmony even in this pandemic days.  It was an entirely new experience we had and I would reckon that i could see the true spirit we used to have before these pandemic. I went to my college and dressed up as "maveli" to bless my dear students. We bought beautiful flowers to make "Athappokkalam". We also had several competitions like Athappokkalam , Malayalee Manga , Photography competitions etc. One thing I have noticed is tha...

It was literally circulating in our heads to start a digital platform in this digital era. This pandemic situation helped us to realize the power of digital media as the conventional education system has been shifted to our fingertips. So we thought of starting a youtube channel to publish our works and activities so as to extend our helping hands to society. YouTube is not only the kingdom of digital entertainment but it can also be a great environment for learning. We have planned a grand inaugural ceremony for our youtube channel by inviting many guests. It was an amazing experience. Our college has opened a new path to share our talents and works to showcase what we are capable to this world.

Digital Video Making

Image
Our whole students of physical science students stood together to make an awesome video. The topic got divided into each student and they shot the video by themselves. Finally, we clubbed it together to make a continuity for those who watch should feel like some threads of concepts put together. It was a bit difficult to record the video because we need to think may factors like the alignment of video, background noise, fitting us in the frame, and many more. It was an unforgettable experience.
