Stage set for cultural fest Valhalla- 2014 at XLRI from today

Jamshedpur : Valhalla- 2014, the flagship sports and cultural event of XLRI, Jamshedpur will kick off on Friday. The third edition of Valhalla is being organised on a grand scale this time.

About 50 events and witnesses footfall of over 3000 people with participation from some of the best B-Schools in India including IIM-Calcutta, IIM-Ranchi, XIMB ,IIM- Raipur, FMS, SIBM, and NMIMS .

The extravaganza flags off on July 25 with the Ability Unlimited Concert, a string of scintillating performances by differently abled artists on wheel chairs. Valhalla, as part of its initiative to inspire the young sparks of the nation, has invited students and faculty of around 40 schools from across the city to be a part of this noble initiative.

Another cornerstone of Valhalla is the 5th Annual Jamshedpur Run, a part of our continued efforts of promoting social harmony and youth empowerment. The mini marathon (with track lengths of 5 and 10 km) will aim to congregate the youth and sensitize them towards their individual social responsibility of bringing more smiles in the lives of strangers in whichever way � small or big � they can. The run is scheduled for July 27. It will be flagged off from the XLRI main gate, by the legendary mountaineer, Bachendri Pal, and Tarun Daga, chairman CII (Jharkhand),� said a member of organising committee.

Valhalla will feature events across the spectrum of sports, cultural and outdoor events. The prominent sporting events include basketball, football, table tennis, volley ball, badminton, throw ball and chess.

On the cultural front we have lined up a spate of exciting events including the stage play, fashion show, solo dance, group dance, quiz, debate, street play and solo singing. A host of on the edge informal events has been scheduled for the participants including our signature adventure game, Quest Adventura.
