Samyak-2015

This fest was born 5 years ago as SAMYAK to show the society what is real and right. The beginning was marked by the scores of students from various colleges and states. In year 2011, SAMYAK was inaugurated with the theme "Go Green", the initiatives were marked by hand imprints, signatures, drives to bring greenery in the society and in the areas around the university, emphasizing the use of green technology and energy conservation. The next theme emerged as "Ethics, ethos and etiquette." The rich culture and heritage of India which attracted many invaders and philosophers was the driving force behind the theme. Last year theme was Sustainable Socio Economic Rural Development through Technology Intervention to upgrade rural areas with the help of technology. This year 2015 the theme was "MAKE IN INDIA". The Convenor of Samyak 2015 was Dr. V. Srikanth and the Chairman was Dr.. K. L. Narayana.

About Theme: The ease of doing business, focusing on Public-Private partnerships, harnessing the potential of Democracy, Demography and Demand - that's what forms the key focus of PM Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' campaign.
