The week-long cultural extravaganza of PUMBA Pune University8217;s MBA, Gandhaar 8217;99, drew to a grand finale on March 5. In its sixth year of inception, Gandhaar 8217;99, its organisers claim, was an endeavour to reflect the undying spirit of the soul. With childhood8217; as its theme, everyone was invited to soak themselves in the spirit of infancy and relive their childhood.8217;
The festival was inaugurated at the University8217;s Ellis Park by V K Wagh, director of the Board of College and Universities Development.
As the festival progressed through the seven days, participants got many avenues to come to the limelight and nothing could come in the way of the determined few who were creative, intelligent, had the gift of the gab and had the thought of winning laurels for their college, uppermost in their minds.
The ever-enthu, never-say-die spirit of the youth was invariably displayed at Gandhaar as every event was competed for in true sportsmanship spirit.
Right from getting sponsors like Thums Up, Close Up, Asset International, United Colours of Benetton, PCS Industries and Yazad Car Rentals to putting up a week-long inter-collegiate festival, with alacrity and efficacy, the credit goes to the students of PUMBA and the management for their whole-hearted cooperation.
The festival concluded with a rock-show by Strangers as the joint winners, SIBM and SIMS revelled in their moment of glory having worn the coveted crown as winners of Gandhaar 8217;99.
