I VOGUE, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce

Smashing and slamming the doors on the predominant social constructs, I Vogue – The Fashion Society of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce has defended its position as the best college fashion society, second year in the row. Last year I Vogue wowed the audience with its theme of inclusion of LGTB community in the mainstream society. This year, I Vogue stepped up its game a notch higher wherein their ‘Fashion Army’ bombed the stereotypical notions related to religion, gender, sexuality and shot bullets of change at racist, colorist and body shaming prejudices.

Sarthak Kathuria, President, I Vogue – “I feel so proud maintaining our position at the top. Its two years in a row, woah! My team members and I  have worked really hard to prepare what we have showcased all over the fest season. We focus on taking up fresh and current issues that need to be dealt with in our society and showcase it in a way that the essence of fashion doesn’t get lost while conveying our message to the audience. This time we portrayed a ‘Fashion Army’ who was there to fight against the various stereotypes that prevail in our society related to gender and sexuality, Beauty (Body shaming and Racism) and also religion; it was all showcased in a cohesive manner to reach out to the audience and give them an opportunity to look at the realities of life with a broader mind.  We can proudly say that we have been the trend setters in DU and this time as well we brought ahead fresh ideas in terms of concept, designs, styling, choreography, music, etc. which is all purely done by the team members, without any outside help.We have always believed in following fashion and doing fashion on stage. We stay miles away from fancy dressing and that’s what I believe makes us stand apart. We brought our ideas to life without any funding from anywhere, but it all seems to have paid off well for us.
IVogue is like a family, we have been through the whole journey together and I feel each and every member has played their part very well. So three cheers to my amazing team, without which we couldn’t have had made this a success.”

I VOGUE, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce

Stuck between a modern and a conservative set of minds, we still find a large part of our society to be completely against the idea of people having different sexual preferences, thus compelling many of them to lead a captive life with a constant fear to come out as ‘themselves’. At I Vogue, the team aims to move everyone towards the path of modernity and create such a change where the LGBT community respectfully gets to stand at par in the society and its members to be considered as ‘Humans’ like others. Their act, being a unique fusion of both conservative and modern thinking, therefore brings about Duality as the basic theme emphasizing on the acceptance of the LGBT community, and its costumes are designed according to the modern and ancient era with base colors kept as authentic as black and white along with stunning shades of gold and silver.

Ashwani Verma, President of I Vogue says, “The members of I Vogue start working on everything, three months before the beginning of the fest season with full dedication and perseverance, leaving no stones unturned. Being in a team, we have all learnt to be extremely tolerant of different views and now, not only encourage but even accept each other’s opinions like our very own. I strongly believe that we are mostly led by one, most important mantra, which is to simply ignore ‘I’ in a team and focus on ‘WE’ in every performance; and this, I can proudly say, has been the key to all the victories we have achieved this season.”

Performing Members Ashwani Verma (President), Vasu Goel (Vice President), Sarthak Kathuria, Harsh Kapoor, Divank Satwani, Mohil Jain, Sahib Singh, Ushmeet Kaur, Navneet Kaur, Rivleen Kaur, Harjot Kaur, Reva Goswami, Ashween Kaur, Tavisha Dua and Riya Jain.

SGGSCC Organises the 3rd International Conference On Booming Service Sector

By

Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce’s (SGGSCC) Conference Committee organised the 3rd International Conference on Booming Service Sector from achievements to growth prospects on 4 & 5 February, 2016. It was inaugurated by Dr. Kawal Gill, Convenor of the Conference, who emphasized on the relevance of the service sector in the growing Indian economy.

The Principal of the college, Dr. J.B. Singh, delivering the welcome address, said that India follows a unique model of growth so far as the service sector is concerned. Every year lakhs of people are uprooted from agriculture and allied areas. But, the issue is whether the growing services sector can provide ample employment for them. In his view, along with Information and Technology; Health, Education and Tourism are also areas of the service sector which need reform.

The Chief Guest of the day, Professor Tarun Das, Registrar, University of Delhi, pointed out that in today’s digital, borderless world, each nation has to take care of its tangible and intangible assets. Thus, culture and intellectual property rights should be protected and education policies should be formulated in a methodical manner encouraging research and innovation in the field of higher education.

Mr. Gaurav Choudhury, Economic Editor, Hindustan Times said that in our appreciation of the organized service sector, we are probably overlooking the unorganized services sector, neglecting informal services such as the carpenters or the electricians level of public services line Health and Education.

In the keynote address, Dr. Rajesh Chadha, Senior Research Counselor, National Convener of Applied Economic Research said that the service sector in India is no doubt booming but the manufacturing sector is really the key to growth. He underscored the importance of Sectorial Employment Elasticities, FDI equity in the services sector and Net Export of Services.

He received support from Professor Inder Mohan Kapahy, Member, University Grants Commission, sanctioned against over celebrating the service sector even though it is a booming one. In his views it should be balanced by growth in Manufacturing and Agricultural sectors.

The last speaker of the session, Mr. Mehraj Dube, Vice President, New Initiative, The Statesman, focused on the changing scenario revolutionized by digital technology in the areas of business, media and even education. Other people present for the session included Mr. H.S. Jolly and Mr. Seble. Technical Sessions that were chaired by eminent dignitaries, where more than 50 teachers from across the University presented research papers on several topics, followed the Inauguration and brought an end to a very successful conference.

Udaan ’12 – A Flight of Dreams

By

Udaan, a performing arts festival organized by the Manchatantra Creations, powered by Manchatantra, the dramatics society of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce that kicked off on February 1 concluded on February 2 with the prize distribution ceremony.

The festival started off with ‘People’- the Street Play competition. The competition saw participation by the street play teams of Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Khalsa College, Hindu College, SRCC, Jesus and Mary College, Indraprastha College for Women, ARSD College, LSR College, Shivaji College, CBS, Daulat Ram College, PGDAV College, and Hansraj College. The plays centered around relevant issues such as  the Indian judicial system (performed by Shivaji College’s dramatics society Vayam), the concept and relevance of religion in the contemporary world (brought forth by the annual production ‘Dharma’ by Khalsa), the phenomenon of ‘Whistle-Blowing’ (staged by Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies’ street play society Verve), the inevitable human tendency of constantly wanting something or the other (brought to light by Hansraj through the play titled ‘Laalsa’),the faulty application of the virtues of the Indian constitution based on our own assumptions of it (enacted by the dramatics society of Hindu College) and many more. The competition was won by the Daulat Ram College while SGTB Khalsa College took away the second prize for its play ‘Dharma’.

The street play competition was followed by ‘Soul’ the Choreography competition which too saw participation by a number of teams from campus. The choreo team of Sri Venkateswara College won the competition.

To involve the audience in the fest, along with these two main events, a number of mini events were also held on day 1. The most challenging one of these was ‘Tongue Twister’ in which participants had to take out a chit from a bowl on which was written a tongue twister which they were supposed to repeat 10 times. The winners were given Snap Deal and Worlds of Wonder vouchers.

‘Voice Crack’ was another such event in which two participants competed against each other and the task was to stretch the given word as much as they could. The ‘Cinema Quiz’, again meant for the audience was a big hit as the participants put to test their knowledge of Bollywood.

‘Click’, the photography competition, was held across the first two days of the fest. The theme of the competition was ‘Moments of the fest’. Participants were supposed to submit 5 best clicks of the fest. Nishant Verma won the first prize while Tushar Sareen from Shivaji College took away the second prize.

Day 2 saw some enigmatic performances during ‘Razzmatazz’-the Western Dance competition which was followed by ‘Street Fight’- the street dance competition. The western dance team of SGGSCC won the Razzmatazz while the girls of Maitreyi College, dressed in sparkling blue outfits won the hearts of the audience by putting up a scintillating performance on numbers like ‘Naadan Parinde’ and also took away the second prize.

Street Fight was won by Bhartiya Vidyapeeth while SBIT stood second in the same.

Manchatantra Creations is the brainchild of Aniket Jaiswal, an alumna of the dramatics society of Hansraj College. After passing out of the college he worked extensively with the dramatics society of Gargi College and for the past three years he has been working with Manchatantra, the dramatics society of SGGSCC. He has given theatre workshops to children in the Nizzamuddin basti and made a theatre production for them on Sanitation. Talking about the festival he said, “Organizing this event was like a dream. We’ve been practicing here in Dilli Haat for three years and holding ‘Udaan’ here has made the festival more special.” The festival concluded successfully on February 3. “Ab toh iss TV Tower ki aadat ho gai hai”, he joked.
