Entries invited for IIT-Kharagpur's 'Kshitij'
The stage is set for IIT-Kharagpur's 'Kshitij', the largest techno-management fest in Asia.
Anand Burman, a student of IIT-Kharagpur and part of the publicity cell of the fest informed that be it publicity drives, buzz in the social media or the fest's refreshing official website (which has the distinction of being the largest student-run website in India), the latest edition of Kshitij will for sure leave an impact on young minds.
The team behind this four-day extravaganza is leaving no stone unturned to raise the bar this year, he said.
In the city to create awareness about the mega event, Burman went to institutes like IIT-Kanpur, HBTI, and Kanpur University to publicise the event. The fest will start on January 31 and end on February 3, 2014.
Burman said the fest, which traces it's origins back to the year 2004 (when it was known as Ideon), has grown by leaps and bounds over the years.
From the humble participation of just 260 students in its year of inception, it witnessed the participation of more than 65,000 in its 2013 edition.
The fest offers over 40 events encompassing 9 different genres, and many of which are certified by globally acclaimed institutions like ACM, IEEE, ASHRAE and SPE. Apart from these unique and engrossing events, Kshitij also plays host to numerous inspiring guest lectures. The fest's much celebrated gallery of guests includes Bedabrata Pain, director of movie Chittagong and inventor of CMOS technology, Elan Emtage, father of search engine, Subir Gokarn former deputy Governor of RBI, Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, First Indian Cosmonaut, Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia, Naseeruddin Shah, critically acclaimed actor, to name a few. Kshitij has also served as the perfect stage for showcasing path-breaking technological advances of recent times through its unique exhibitions.
Burman further said that to participate in the fest, the students need to register on the official website www.ktj.in. He said that a multitude of exciting online events will start from the first week of November itself.
Students should soon start preparing their submissions as December 15, 2013 is the last date for sending them, he added.
