The Fiesta was a deliberate act of community-building — a carefully curated space where performance became practice in belonging, and celebration became a way of instilling the university’s values in the hearts of its students. Rather than a mere sequence of items on a programme, the evening functioned as a crucible for long-lasting connections: seniors and faculty welcoming newcomers, collaborative performances forging friendships, and moments of shared joy turning acquaintances into comrades who will support one another through the academic journey.
The much-anticipated Mr. and Ms. Freshers Event became a highlight, not as a contest alone, but as a symbolic initiation into the TIUT community, fostering bonds of friendship and confidence.The stage came alive with vivid student performances that showcased their unique talents, embodying a blend of creativity, cultural pride, and youthful energy.
In his address, Kishor Barman Higher Education Minister urged that students should aim for holistic development and dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the realization of the nation’s developmental goals, thereby becoming active stakeholders in India’s progress.
Padma Sri Prof. Arunoday Saha reminisced about his own student days and remarked that students today are far more advanced in their outlook and capabilities, and must be regarded as the true resources of tomorrow who will shape the nation’s future.
Er. Sarkar Banerjee remarked that students should not only learn and contribute to society, but also uphold ethical values, nurture innovation, and commit themselves to building a more inclusive and progressive nation.The carefully curated cultural items — from the opening dance drama “SaktirupenoSansthita” to the chorus of songs, vibrant dances, and the musical finale featuring Ms. Parmita Reang & Band and Meghbalika — reflected TIUT’s ethos of blending tradition, creativity, and holistic development.
Reflecting on the success of the programme, Prof. (Dr.) Ratan Kumar Saha, Vice-Chancellor of TIUT, remarked, “We planned this as a grand commencement where students’ welfare, cultural experience and proper entry into their academic journey have been given priority. We believe such programmes lay the foundation for a lifelong commitment to learning and social responsibility.”
The event concluded with an atmosphere of joy and institutional pride, reminding all present that students are the most valuable human resources of the nation, and that investing in their growth today is an investment in the future of India.
