Medical students get ready to host youth festival
Mumbai: Come Wednesday and medical students in KEM Hospital will shed their white coats and get festive. From racing deftly made robots to swinging to salsa beats, students will bring in the GS medical college’s annual youth festival, Aavishkar ‘08, with a bang. The three-day event hosted in the sprawling Parel campus is likely to attract around 10,000 students from 73 colleges across the city.
The new feature this year is a technical festival called ‘Cautery’ that will see budding doctors pitted against students from other specialisations (engineering to arts and commerce). A wired-robot race called Robo-Olympiads is being projected as the festival’s flagship. Besides the 21 teams who have already engineered their robots in the run-up to the event, anyone with their previouslybuilt robot is free to race it on the tracks. For the more creative lot, a jive and salsa workshop by choreographer Sandip Sopparkar, an inter-collegiate clash of bands and a glitzfilled fashion show promises some fun. The festival is in its 26th year and it’s theme is called ‘Outer Space’. The fest will bring back some of its alumni to play judge. TNN
