Other attractions of the event included pottery making, adventure sports and a sports quiz. A stand-up comedy show by 2 alumnus of XLRI on the first day also generated positive response.
Renowned Bollywood playback singer Benny Dayal stole the show at the concluding fundraiser event with his hit numbers such as Pappu Can’t Dance Sala, Lat Lag Gayee, Aadat se Mazboor and Badtameez Dil amongst others and enthralled a whopping number of 2000 audience with his music and charm. The show was organized as a fund raiser by SIGMA (Social Initiative group for managerial assistance) in collaboration with the Bangalore based NGO Milaap.
“Proceeds from the fest will go to a microfinance firm Milaap, which will use funds to loan money to the needy in Bihar and Odisha. When borrowers pay back the money, it will be recycled — lent out — to other people in need. The collections from the show were on voluntary basis”, said Varun Paruchuri, Principal Secretary, Extra Curricular, Students’ Affairs Council (2013-14), XLRI.
The initiative received a great response from all, with total collections being around Rs. 2 lakhs.
