The annual Vasantotsav celebration at University of Delhi witnessed a remarkable milestone this year as the special women-centric event titled “SHE & SHAKTI” concluded with overwhelming participation and appreciation.

Organised by the Vasantotsav Committee in collaboration with the Delhi University Students’ Union and the Delhi Culture Ministry, the event was held on February 16 at the university’s Multi-Purpose Hall. This was the seventh event in the Vasantotsav series and was exclusively dedicated to female students.

Nearly 10,000 Students Participate

The event received registrations from over 15,000 students representing 205 units from various universities and colleges across Delhi through the Aviral Portal. Out of them, approximately 10,000 students and faculty members actively participated in the program.

The scale of participation reflects the growing enthusiasm among young women for platforms that celebrate cultural identity, spirituality, and empowerment.

A Unique Blend of Spirituality and Modern Expression

The highlight of the event was the vibrant fusion of bhajan clubbing and cultural performances. The program successfully showcased a harmonious blend of spirituality and contemporary presentation styles.

Throughout the event, students displayed confidence, unity, and collective energy. The atmosphere inside the auditorium remained filled with devotion, creativity, and celebration.

Participants described the event as inspiring and innovative. Many expressed their desire to see more culturally rooted and dignified celebrations in college campuses instead of western-style fests, emphasizing the importance of promoting Indian values in academic institutions.
