Jamshedpur : The B school cultural fest Valhalla was inaugurated today at the campus in the presence of Aashish Mathur, managing director, Jusco and the faculty members and students of XLRI. The meet apart from a B school get together is a fundraising for needy people.
Valhalla which was inaugurated today would conclude on July 27. The participating teams are from IIM-Calcutta, IIM-Ranchi, IIM- Raipur, XIMB, FMS, SIBM and NMIMS.
For marathon enthusiast across the city, Jamshedpur Run has been scheduled on July 27. The Dracula, the theatre club would organise a rock competition, a dance competition and a drama competition in the next two days.
�We are also organising a painting competition across these schools on the theme �Celebrating Contrasts� to commemorate the spirit of Valhalla.
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.
�Till the last edition the proceeds of the pro-show were donated to the Milaap Foundation, a fund-raising platform that enables people around the world to fund and impact communities in need of basic facilities in India.
This time round, we will be collaborating with the Ability Unlimited Foundation (AUF), a Delhi based foundation which is doing truly commendable work in reaching out to differently-abled citizens of all ages right from providing them all amenities, education, vocational training and meaningful opportunities to earn their livelihoods,� noted the member.
