LUCKNOW — Following a grand inauguration, the second day of the Anandotsava 2.0 festival seamlessly bridged modern innovation with classical arts, drawing exceptional participation across a multitude of disciplines. The day’s proceedings were overseen and encouraged by Committee Members Kr. Vinay Kumar Singh (Secretary-cum-Manager) and Sheikh Iqbal Mobashir Kidwai, who commended the students’ fierce competitive spirit.
Moving away from the inaugural day’s foundational events, Day 2 shifted focus toward specialized academic, technical, and cultural showdowns. A major highlight was the rigorous Moot Court competition, which tested the legal acumen of participants before an expansive bench of experts including Dania Razi, Aishwarya Mathur, Zainul Rizvi, Fatima Baqar, Dr. Vatsala Sharma, Akash Mishra, Dr. Lokesh Dutt Awasthan, and Dr. Gunjan Srivastava.
Simultaneously, the campus hosted a high-stakes Hackathon, evaluated by tech expert Amit Sinha, where students developed innovative solutions in real-time. The intellectual rigor continued with a fast-paced Multimedia Quiz, steered by Quiz Master Chandra Shekar Verma.
The festival also dedicated significant space to preserving and celebrating cultural heritage. The traditional art of oral storytelling took the spotlight during the Dastangoi event, judged by Divya Bhardwaj and Deepika. This was complemented by a soulful Mushaira (Poetry Reading), evaluated by Shahbaaz Talib and Abhishreshta Tiwar, weaving profound emotions and lyrical beauty into the afternoon.
Rounding out the day’s diverse offerings were the Literary Charade, judged by Mohd. Rashid and Deepika Chaturvedi, and vibrant Solo and Group Dance performances that brought rhythm to the campus under the keen eyes of judges Nandini Saini, Vikas, and Lavina Jain.
Event organizers confirmed that the cumulative results for all Anandotsava 2.0 competitions will be kept strictly under wraps and officially declared during the valedictory ceremony on the festival’s final day.
