Dates Finalised !!
Dear Readers,
Due to certain problems with the host machine at our end, we were unable to update our blog regularly. The glitch has now been fixed and The North-East Students' Forum is pleased to announce that the date for our fest has been confirmed. The 28th of February 2009 will see the "Breaking Barriers, Bridging Cultures" concept put into practice.
Since we are a student body trying to showcase our culture to the denizens of Karnataka; Bangalore in particular, and due to certain legal requirements, we have decided to charge a token amount of just Rs.50 as Entry Fee.
For tickets and other details please call or text: 9845011510 / 9886907256 / 9741127959 / 9986715492 or email us at footprints.sjc@gmail.com

The North-East Students' Forum (NESF)
FOOTPRINTS
Keeping in mind the aims and objectives of the Forum, the students have been trying earnestly to bridge the cultural gap between the North-East and other parts of the country starting from the college and extending it to the city. Today, the students from the region constitute the most visible group in the college with members in almost all the students associations and activities. They are especially active in the college choir, football and basketball teams, Centre for Social Concern, Social Zest among others. Their valuable contributions to college has been acknowledged by one and all. The Forum has organised Food Fests, Exhibitions of Handicrafts and Handloom products of the region, discussions and debates among students on certain issues confronting the North-East. In short, they have brought the North-East to the college.
FOOTPRINTS08
On February 23rd, 2008, the Forum organised FOOTPRINTS08, an EXCLUSIVE North-East Fest, the first of its kind in the city. There were cultural dances from different states of the region, music from North-East bands and artists from the city, a food court serving authentic North-East Cuisine, exhibition-cum-sale of handicrafts and handlooms among others. The Fest was attended by over 2,500 people.
