Aim
The Event Management Committee (EMC) organizes major themed events and celebrations at NLSIU, creating a vibrant campus life that provides the students with a much-needed break from the rigorous academic pressures! Over the past year, EMC has hosted popular events such as Freshers for the incoming batches, Winter Carnival, Colour Me Spring, Strawberry Fields, Sports and Movie Screenings, SBA Mentor-Mentee Meetup, Fall Formals, Yours Truly and a lot more. Each event is catered to different interests and brings together everyone on campus. Through these events, our committee is dedicated to fostering a sense of community and belonging among all batches of students through interactive and engaging activities.
Members of our committee handle various important functions including PnP (Publicity and Press), managing requisitions, designing and putting up decorations, sourcing materials for activities and events and further coordinating logistics with various external businesses. Through dedicated teamwork and meticulous planning, EMC continues to brighten campus life, creating memories and experiences that create relationships lasting beyond your time at NLSIU.
Our Work
The NLS community had quite the year with events that truly brought people together.
The SBA Mentor-Mentee Meetup helped new students connect with their seniors, while Freshers’24 went all out with a Bridgerton theme, complete with game stalls and dance battles. When festival season hit and people got homesick, the EMC organized “Yours Truly!”, an event where students could make Rakhis and bracelets, write letters home, and the committee mailed them out. Fall Formals wrapped things up as our first student-faculty mixer, with music performances and everyone ending up on the dance floor. The Winter Carnival was our big costume party send-off to 2024 – Bengaluru’s cool December weather made it perfect for karaoke nights and fun fair stalls everyone loved. Game Night is perfect if you want to play board games with friends, or totally competitive if you were into the UNO Tournament or Trivia Quiz. We held various movie and match screenings throughout the year to keep spirits up during the end term season. We ended the year on a high note with Colour Me Spring, a crazed gathering which included everything from games, an art corner, and sweet Gujiyas, to color guns, an all-out dance floor, and chaos as people chased their friends around with fistfuls of Gulaal.
Strawberry Fields is the flagship event of EMC, and is rated as the ‘Best college rock festival’ by the Rock Street Journal. The show is critically acclaimed as India’s best platform for amateur and semi-professional bands before huge audiences, on the most cutting-edge equipment available in the market today. Strawberry Fields has hosted some of the biggest names in the Indian music scene, many of whom credit the show as their ‘big break’, like Parikrama, Mother Jane, Pentagram, Kryptos, Swarathma, Bevar Sea, Bhayanak Maut, Inner Sanctum and others. It’s still the place where you go to prove you’ve got what it takes.
