Every year, societies from colleges across the campus compete neck to neck and put up spectacular performances during the fest season. This year too, saw certain teams shine a little brighter than the rest. We bring you a series with college societies that put their heart and soul into their respective fields and took home the top prizes at various cultural fests.
The best college society in each category was selected by creating a tally of the top 3 positions at competitive events held during various cultural fests of this season. Whenever a society won the first prize they were awarded 3 points, for the second position they received 2 points and for the third position, 1 point was added to their tally.
For the Choreography category, Sparx (Choreography Society of Gargi College) scored the maximum points in the tally. Gargi College’s 17 points were followed by the dance society of Lady Shri Ram College for Women that scored 11 points. Hans Raj College’s Terpsichoreon bagged third spot scoring 6 points.

The production titled, Spectrum, dealt with the mindset of society. The performance aimed at showcasing a very challenging social theme and tried to portray the mental status of a person suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder and how the society generally acts towards them. The ten minute long performance depicted the stress, frustration, rejection and trauma faced by a person with a mental disorder.
Shreya, the President of Sparx said, “Sparx has always aimed to inculcate a feeling of belongingness and team work This year,we upped our performance level under the guidance of Heemanshu Sharma. We also undertook gymnastics under Kushan Sir, which made our bodies more trained. While we often wounded ourselves in the process, we only got stronger in determination.”
