A one- day long event that would mark the inauguration of The Gymkhana Golden Jubilee while celebrating the values of holistic and socio-cultural development that the Gymkhana stands for. The campus community has always strived for excellence in both academic and non-academic pursuits, and this is an achievement of the Gymkhana that needs to be celebrated. We hope the Opening Ceremony will inspire renewed confidence in the students to explore their potential.
The opening ceremony would begin with a Duathlon that would reflect one of the most important themes of the Gymkhana – the spirit of participation. The Duathlon would be followed by the inauguration of the exhibitions of the various councils by the Chief Guest of the event – Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam. The inaugural address by Dr.Kalam and performance by various clubs would draw the evening to a close.
The Opening Ceremony would also serve as a platform for launching the Gymkhana History Project which would would provide us an insight of how the Gymkhana began, the choices the Gymkhana had to make over the years and the evolution of the Gymkhana to it’s present day form.
