Social Drive – 27th January 2016 Cultural Committee Report 2016-17 As is the case every year, the Cultural committee was formed at the beginning of the academic year. This year elections were conducted to elect the new cultural secretary. There was a fair chance given to all the students who expressed desire to stand for elections. A time frame was allotted for canvassing and the elections were conducted under the supervision of the teachers who are a part of the Cultural team. The newly elected Cultural Secretary then chose his team and formed different sub committees to handle the various functions. There were a lot of subtle changes that the college saw in terms of cultural activities. Normally, the Committee sees to it that there are various cultural activities conducted throughout the year. This year it was decided to club together all the activities and competitions into a weeklong celebration like a carnival which would then culminate into grand celebration of the Jashn-e-Rizvi. This Carnival was scheduled to be hosted around mid January 2017. We did celebrate Independence Day in the college as Martyr’s Day. After the F lag hoisting by our principal Dr M Z Farooqui, the NCC cadets performed a march past and were awarded their ranks. Our students enacted the lives and famous dialogues of five martyrs viz, Gandhiji, Bhagat Singh, Razia Sultan, Rani Laxmibai, Subhash Chandra Bhose. This was followed by singing of patriotic songs by the students. The programme was concluded with a street play on Jallianwalla Bagh presented by the drama troupe of the college. As per the new planned schedule, preparations for the much awaited Carnival and Jashn-e- Rizvi were on in full swing under the aegis of our then administrator Mr Akram. But at the beginning of the New Year we were faced with the news of the sad demise of the Secretary of our Education Society, Mr Abis Rizvi. Following this news all Cultural activities for the year were suspended.

The Celebrations comprised of a reading of the Preamble of the Indian Constitution by NSS Students and simultaneous recitation by entire staff and students gathered in the auditorium of college.

Our College hosted the annual inter collegiate youth festival ‘JASHN – E–RIZVI’ on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of December 2015. Our Cosponsors were Mirachem Industries, LIC of India, Union Bank, OPPO phones, Terence Lewis Academy and Body Canvas. The theme for this year’s festival was ‘Tollywood’ in celebration of the south Indian film industry which has a long and rich history. Colleges from across Mumbai participated in various events and inter college competitions held in these three days. 23rd January 2016 was marked as Tie and Saree Day by the Cultural Committee. Students participated with great enthusiasm by turning up in the said attire. Republic Day was celebrated by the entire staff and students with flag hoisting followed by a short cultural programme comprising of patriotic songs and street play. The Cultural Committee this year felt that students should also be made aware about their social responsibilities. In accordance with this thought we organised a Social Drive on 27th January 2016. The objective was to give away clothes, food, books, shoes, toys and anything usable to the needy and deprived children living in the areas around the college. Students and staff of the Cultural Committee work tirelessly to make every event a success. This success would certainly not have been possible without the support of our Management and our Principal Dr M Z Farooqui.
