This blog is in response to the Sunday Reading. In this blog I am going to discuss the Youth Festival 2023 at Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University and also so many themes which are represented in events.

In This year's Youth Festival was organized by the Department of Physical Education. Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University organized a Youth Festival for many years. This is the 31st Youth Festival with the theme of 'Nari Vandana' and full title with 'Man Bhavan Yuva Mahotsav'.

Themes : Kalayatra, Essay competition, on the spot painting competition, Elocution Competition, photography competition, clay modelling competition, paper collage competition, poetry writing competition, cartooning competition, poster making competition and Installation Competition, etc. The central theme of this festival was "Nari Shakti Vandana," and the event was hosted by the Physical Education Department of the University.

Kalayatra initiated the first Youth Festival event on the evening of November 2, 2023. The procession started at Shamaldas Arts College, moved through Central Salt, and concluded at J.K. Sarvaiya Group of Colleges in Sardarnagar. The main goal of Kalayatra was to offer students a stage to display their artistic skills and present inventive concepts. Students from different colleges and departments showcased their creativity through various costumes and posters. Furthermore, the event was broadcasted live on a YouTube channel, enabling a broader audience to experience Kalayatra and other happenings.

Various Events of the Youth Festival -

3rd November, 2023 - Day - 1

1. Mimicry

Mimicry, the first event of the Youth Festival, unfolded as a captivating showcase of talent and creativity. Participants use their own voices to imitate various sounds such as scooter, helicopter, train, Auto - Rikshaw, sounds of different animals. Participants worked very hard to make their performance good and satisfactory.

Last year there were only four Participants in the Mimicry. But, this time it was good to see that 7 or 8 Participants were there.

2. Skit :- Organized in the Atal Auditorium

Skit covered many important topics which threw some light upon the current scenario of India. Skit is a kind of event for the purpose of entertainment and reflects everyday Situations that brings people together through shared laughter and amusement.

The theme "Women: From Oppression to Freedom"

The theme "Women: From Oppression to Freedom" unfolds the transformative journey of women as they navigate from traditional roles to modern empowerment. It explores stories ranging from persistent child marriage in Balikavadhu to the challenges faced by working women, mothers, and wives. The portrayal extends to widows grappling with a colorless existence and societal suppression.

However, the narrative takes a triumphant turn as women emerge from oppressive circumstances, challenging societal norms to excel in various fields such as business, law, engineering, cricket, the navy, dance, medicine, and journalism.

These empowered women not only break free from traditional shackles but actively contribute to uplifting those suppressed by societal norms, marking a profound shift from oppression to freedom.

The Mime event, held in the Atal Auditorium as part of the Youth Festival, is a captivating display of silent storytelling. Young performers, dressed in white, use gestures and movements to vividly portray scenes, conveying emotions and narratives without speaking. This event showcases not only the performers' mastery of body language and facial expressions but also serves as a potent platform for social commentary and reflection. As the silent stories unfold on stage, the audience is immersed in a world of creativity and symbolism, making the Mime event a poignant and thought-provoking highlight of the Youth Festival. It encourages an appreciation for the nuances of communication and the impactful nature of theatrical expression.

‘As You Like It’ by William Shakespeare
