Lucknow: The first day of Jaipuria Fest 2024, held at Seth M.R. Jaipuria School, Vineet Khand, Gomti Nagar, was a grand success. The day’s events included Techvista and Sollertia. The festivities began with a Ganesh Vandana performance by the students, followed by an orchestra performance by the school band.
In her speech, Principal Promini Chopra emphasized the importance of breaking free from societal molds and going beyond conventional frameworks. She further elaborated, “Try to learn as much as you can from each event as you participate, and broaden your creativity. These events are organized to inculcate the values of responsibility, leadership, and collaboration.”
Sollertia, the art and craft event where students express their creativity through various mediums, saw over 200 participants from 25 schools.
The competitions, Conflictus, Panorama Reset, Fashion Frenzy, Clay Encanto, and Tech Chroma, showcased diverse creative talents across various artistic disciplines.
The judge for the Sollertia event, Aditi Agarwal, also known as Crafter Aditi, is a renowned artist with over 12 million YouTube subscribers. During her speech, Aditi shared her journey as a creator and artist, reflecting on her seven-year-long path to success. She noted that while people now see her during her best days, only she knows the immense hard work and dedication it took to reach this point. Aditi further emphasized, “I always prioritized my academics, with craft as a backup option, but I managed to balance both.” Encouraging the students, she said, “When you hold a color, clay, or any material to create something, don’t see it as just a medium. Instead, recognize it as your power—a tool through which you can craft something truly powerful and impactful.”
The school stood in the runner-up position, while Modern Academy took home the winner’s trophy.
