The School of Management Studies (SMS), SRHU, organized the Igaas–Baghwal 2025 initiative titled “My Village, My Festival” from 01 to 12 November 2025. The activity aimed to celebrate Uttarakhand’s cultural heritage by inviting students, faculty, and staff to share short videos and photographs depicting traditional Igaas–Baghwal celebrations in their native villages. A total of 31 entries were submitted, out of which 13 videos were shortlisted based on authenticity and presentation quality. The top three were awarded First, Second, and Third Prizes, while the remaining ten shortlisted participants received Appreciation Certificates from the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor for their enthusiastic contributions. The Vice Chancellor appreciated the cultural richness reflected in the submissions and motivated participants to engage even more creatively in future editions. The event was efficiently coordinated by Mr. Shailendra Sainwal and Mr. Ankit Kukrety, with support from Dr. Som Aditya Juyal, Vice Principal, SMS. This initiative successfully strengthened cultural pride and community bonding within the SRHU family, with winning and shortlisted entries to be showcased on official social media platforms.
