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.

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. It received appreciation and acclaim from various quarters of the society including NGOs, other civil society groups, student bodies of the region, churches and community organisations.
