The annual cultural event also takes up various social issues plaguing the society. The institute launched their initiative ‘Bachpan’ in 2011 to children with little to no resources achieve their dreams.
Under the initiative named ‘Udaan’, the students from the educational institute reach out to children from the underprivileged section of the society and motivate them to fight for their hopes and dreams with the help of documentaries, presentation, games etc.
This year, ‘Udaan’ has also taken up the initiative of delivering greetings from the children to soldiers serving our country in the unheard corners of India.
