Fresher’s Day in any college is one of the most awaited events for students. A little lilting music and the chink of ice, new faces, smiles all along, resounding laughter- yes it is party time! The very purpose of Fresher’s Day party is to welcome newcomers in a friendly atmosphere, to encourage their creative impulses, boost their confidence and break the ice.
The senior students of Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management (VJIM) organized the Fresher’s Day on August 22nd, 2015 for class 2017. The event started at 6 pm, and was pivoted around the theme- ANGELS AND DEVILS.
Boys mostly wore red and black combination with their face painted as demons and girls were seen in blue and white with fairy bands. The event unfurled with the senior students gathering at the lawn facing the hostel in order to give a warm welcome to all the freshmen and raising a toast.
The programme, started with a sweet prayer song. Followed, by an inaugural speech delivered by Dr. Kamal Ghosh Ray, Director, VJIM which motivated the newcomers. His speech focused primarily on the institution’s excellence and its proven track record of success over the years. His speech was received with much enthusiasm and applause. Dr. Ray’s address was followed by thoughtful messages from faculty members and the staff.
The Fresher’s Day evening and introduction programme helped the freshmen bond with each other and seniors. The party started unfurling gradually. There were few dance performances by juniors and seniors and a number of fun-filled activities were organized for the freshmen. Amidst all fun and celebration, the student body exchanged gifts with the cafeteria staff for their steady effort, hard work and immense support behind making life comfortable for everyone at VJIM.
