UDBHAV 2016-The MSRIT Annual cultural festival 30th
31st March and 1
st April 2016
The annual cultural extravaganza of MSRIT, that has come to be known as Udbhav,
continues to grow in size and magnitude, this year it was scheduled to be held between the 30th
of march and 1st of April, 2016.It is no wonder that across the years it has become one of the
biggest and well-known fests in Karnataka with a footfall of approximately 15,000 people and
participants from over 3 colleges across Karnataka.
Udbhav being a melting pot of culture, draws the talent of youth from across the state,
showcasing the colossal talents that lay dormant in them. Spanning over 3 days, this fest not only
provides a platform to its own students but also to various young aspirants across the state. The
events are categorized into intercollege and intracollege to create an atmosphere of maximum
exposure to the students.
Each year, we host 27 intracollege and 30 intercollege events which enable students to
showcase their talents in the fields of art, music, literature, dance and theatre amongst many
others. It incentivizes and encourages them to do so by giving away various prizes and rewards.
To create an atmosphere that is not only conducive to bringing out hidden talents, but also to
create a sense of youthful exuberance, the fest carries various themes, this year’s being “#16,
Circus Street” To bolster our efforts in facilitating the metamorphosis of students from promising
aspirants to future leaders, the MSRIT Management has been thoroughly supportive and has
helped us monumentally in transforming Udbhav into what it is today.
Also various companies have come forth and endowed us financially and some in kind.
This year, our title sponsor, Bengaluru Football Club (BFC) has rejuvenated the culture of
football in India. Yokohama, Bhagirath Constructions and Cognizant, being our associate
partners, have also greatly helped us in bringing this fest to life. TVS, Radio Indigo, CreatHives,
Hello Buddy, Karnataka Bank, Biriyani Night out (BNO), Blue Frog, Axis Bank, Zebronics and
Vijaya Bank have also contributed significantly in making this fest a success.
This fest has created a niche for itself in the hearts of student, and we hope that it
continues to do so along with the ever enduring support from college management.
16th
Annual VTU Youth Festival (7th
-10th
May 2016)
Every year, VTU organizes one of the most widely participated cultural extravaganzas in
Karnataka, at different host colleges affiliated to the university. This year, VTU fest was held in
Moodabidri, at Alva’s Institute of Engineering and Technology. MSRIT was represented at the
fest by a selected contingent of 38 talented students, under the guidance of Dr. K.R. Phaneesh
and Mr. Sanjay H.S. of the Department of Extra-Curricular Activities. With the encouragement
from the college administration and faculty, the contingent was able to participate in the fest
without any major hassle or letdown.
At the festival, there were five categories of competitive events, namely, Dance, Music, Fine
Arts, Literary and Theater, under which there were several events like “Western Group Music”,
“Indian Group Music”, “One Act Play”, “Skit”, “Mime”, “Elocution”, “Debate”, “Cartooning”,
“Clay Modeling” etc. We participated in 23 events out of 25 events, making our contingent one
of the most diverse contingent at the fest.
We began our winning streak on day one itself, and it became evident by day two; as we were
positioned favorably in top three in events like Skit, Western Vocal Solo, Clay Modeling etc.
With enough points in our bag we were already near the top spot and we solidified our lead with
spectacular performances on day three, especially in Western Group Music, One Act Play and
Mime. On day four our rousing performance in Indian Group Music, Folk Orchestra etc. brought
us laurels and appreciation from everyone. Finally, at the end of the fest which lasted four days,
saw participation from over two hundred colleges, our cumulative score which has incidentally
also been our highest ever, placed us second amongst all participating institutions -as we lost the
top spot to the host college by a nick. Additionally, we won the overall category award in
Theater and Music, making MSRIT the only contingent to do so, at the festival.
It is worth noting that the MSRIT contingent put up some of the most iconic performances at the
fest. Our One Act Play “Manjha” was one of the most critically acclaimed play and received
standing ovation during the event. Additionally, our performances by Indian Group Music and
Western Group Music teams, which also won in their respective categories, were some of the
most well-received performances as made evident by resounding rounds of applause our teams
received. While none of this would have been possible without the collective commitment shown
by the contingent, it is important to thank two people- Dr. K.R. Phaneesh and Mr. Sanjay H.S. -
our faculty coordinators who showed exemplary dedication towards the cause of winning this
festival. The encouragement and support that we received from them has been a vital factor in
catalyzing the success of the MSRIT contingent at the fest.
We are grateful to the college administration, our Principal, members of staff and faculty and
especially, the Department of Extra Curricular Activities for their unwavering support to the
team. Organizing logistics, constituting a team and finishing relevant paperwork at record pace,
would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of the team managers, team captain
and the college support system and, we hope we have done justice to the expectations of the
college from us. We also hope that the endeavor to support extra-curricular activities in the
campus receives continued patronage, so that the student body can continuously make MSRIT
proud at prestigious events, like the VTU Youth Festival.
Here are a few glimpses from the festival:
Dr. M. S. Ramaiah Memorial Parliamentary Debate 2016

Dr. M. S. Ramaiah Memorial Parliamentary Debate, or MSRMPD as it is commonly
known, is the annual parliamentary debate tournament held by the Literary and Debating Society
under the guidance of the Department of Extra-Curricular Activities, which is in its seventh

edition saw participation from all around the globe with participants from University of Malaya
in Malaysia, University of the Philippines Diliman, International Islamic University Malaysia,
Cornell University, Yale University and the National University of Singapore. The preparation
for the tournament began in June. For the coming months the Organizing Committee planned
every aspect of the tournament and worked to give shape to our ideas and with the support and
guidance from DECA, we successfully mobilized resources to host one of the most successful
events in the college.
MSRMPD 2016 was organized on 20th, 21st and 22nd August. The tournament played
host to some of the best debating minds in the nation and after five preliminary rounds, sixteen
teams made it to the knockout rounds. At the end of grueling Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and
Finals, Souradip Sen. and Jaya Jain's team from IIT-Bombay emerged victorious. The other three
finalist teams were from International Islamic University Malaysia, NLS Bangalore and RV
College of Engineering. Some of the country’s best debaters were part of the adjudication pool
for the tournament and the chief adjudicators for the tournament were Viraj Parikh from NLS
Bangalore, Achitha Jacob from IIT-Bombay, Leomar Doctolero from University of the
Philippines Diliman, Chan Sriram from NALSAR Hyderabad and Ajinkya Deshpande from IIT-
Bombay.
The Literary and Debating Society and the Organizing Committee, of Dr. M. S. Ramaiah
Memorial Parliamentary Debate, take immense pride in presenting this landmark event in the
extra-curricular calendar of our college. We are grateful for the unflinching support we have

TEDx-MSRIT(September 17, 2016)
Stories of passions pursued, off-beat performances and standing ovations characterised the fifth
edition of TEDx at M S Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) on Saturday. Over a hundred
people attended the event for which DH was the print media partner. The talks kicked off with an
energetic performance by fusion band Hamsadhwani. Every speaker had an insight to offer to
the audience. Sinu Joseph, a menstrual hygiene counsellor, showed that rural women have fewer
instances of menstrual problems like dysmenorrhoea and their understanding of the natural
process is far better than that of urban women. Naresh Narasimhan, an architect, discussed the
issue which unites every Bengalurean – traffic. He presented surprising facts that the city has one
vehicle for every two people and that the BMTC buses form only 0.1% of the total traffic on the
road but cater to 50% of all trips made. Public taxis and quadrupling the number of BMTC buses
were the suggestions he made to solve the issue.
Singing again
“I was 34 when I had a heart attack and the doctor told me that I could never sing again. Since
then, I have performed in 111 concerts.” said Harish Sivaramakrishnan, a designer and member
of the Carnatic progressive rock band Agam. He urged everyone in the audience to pursue their
passion seriously and not as a hobby. Dr Vikram Huded, a neurologist, Neil Menon, a physicist
who is popular on Quora, and Madhuvanthi Ananth, an entrepreneur, also spoke.
Besides the talks, there were music, art and dance performances to engage participants. Mahesh
Pattar speed-painted a portrait of Charlie Chaplin and beatboxer Karun Krishna entertained the
crowd by creating music without instruments. A classical dance fusion and a performative poetry
piece by Aayana Dance Company left many in the audience filled with emotions and at a loss for
words.
Supriya Pherwani, a participant and a student of design in Sydney, said, “The thought of
travelling in Bengaluru’s crazy traffic to get here made me a bit reluctant at first. But it has been
totally worth it. Each talk was so enlightening and the performances were amazing too!”
