The 11th edition of SPANDANA, a creative festival, which started on 28th Dec came to an end on 30th Dec in a glittering Closing Ceremony, celebrating creativity at its best for three thrilling days at Sri Prakash Vidya Soudham, Payakarao pet. The mini Youth Festival with more than twenty events in five categories—literary, arts, dramatics, dance, music test the mettle and wits of Sri Prakash U G and P G students contestants from SPACES Institute for P.G. Studies, SPACES Degree College, Sri Venkateswara College of Education and Primary Education.
The closing ceremony started at 4.00pm on the final day. Sri K Veerraju, Convenor, Spandana came up with the final report. In this spell of SPANDANA, a total number of nearly 600 students have contested. He congratulated all the participants and hoped that all students would learn valuable lessons from such high level competitions positively.
The Special Guests were Prof Velagapudi Uma Maheswara Rao, Registrar, Andhra University and Smt ¬P Naga Ganga Kranthi, ABN Prime Time News Reader, who is a fine product of Sri Prakash who studied here from 2003 to 2006 in the SPACES Degree College.
The Special Guest Prof V Uma Maheswara Rao in his address exhorted the students to sharpen their creative thinking at the earliest at school and college. They should grab each and every opportunity at this level itself to find out the best within. He warned the students that any delay here in the present globalised competition might mean irretrievable delay costing them a dear career.
PANEL DISCUSSION
The other Special Guest, a former student of SPACES Degree College, Smt PNG Kranthi emphasized on power of expression and planned study of whatever students would do to excel not only in their career but in life as well. She felt she owed a lot to her studies at Sri Prakash as she was interested in such extra curriculum. She could not wait to perform on stage and regale the audience as she would when she was a student here.
Ramya, a B.Ed trainee, Rushi Patel, III B Com, Soundarya, III Comps and Daniel were the cynosure of attention as the Students Guests. The Panel Discussion on ‘Social Networking—its effects on youth’ with the student guests, moderated by the exacting moderator, Sri B Viswanatharao, an engineer-turned-teacher, must have given a few new insights not only to the active participants but to the probing audience as well.
