What is the significance of the college fests? How can one focus on personality development through same?

Hi Nishant, Indeed a great question. Answer is you won't find a single moment during the fest where you won't be learning and experiencing a life time of teaching. Will share a few glimpses of my college food fest (me being from the hotel industry): 1) The main dish in the menu got burnt 5 hrs before service.Immediate reaction- Panic.Alternative course -Immediately started fresh without blaming,cursing.the entire team assigned for that dish came together and worked at rocket speed to prepare it on-time.They all learnt that blaming is never an answer for a failure, instead finding solution is the key to overcome failure.Also they all learnt to forgive and bonded more. 2)The decoration group had a fixed budget. Immediate reaction-"can't be done in this much amount".Course of action- The team divided themselves, started hunting the cheapest markets in town,at their home towns who use to to stay nearby, contacted friends of creative schools,wnet out for getting sponsorship's for the fest.The decor resources got arranged and it was the best decoration in years during the food fest for our batch.Lessons learnt- networking,looking for alternatives So you see, the college fests gives you a problem statement and then like we solve maths problems in various ways but get the correct answer.Same are these fests.The only difference is this learning is happening in dynamic outdoor , outside the classroom.You learn and exhibit and GET AWARE of a lot of your personality traits either through feedbacks, appreciation and sometimes a bit of scoldings too read less

basically College fests are meant to bring the college students of different back ground to come together with a motive to present , prove and conduct something with common goal. this gives a scope to present your personal views on number of issues, resolve the issues during the discussions, convince an d lead the team to right direction, help others as a good team player ..so on and so forth.. Lot many hidden talents, like convincing power, logical thinking, team building, personal relationships are developed through these fests.. every one involved in this type of activity get an opportunity to prove his or her personality and develop the same to better level.. read less

A very Good question, As a student when I attended college fest, I not only learnt how to be a part of such a big social gathering, make new friends, socialize, but also supported in organizing and administration work. This actually boosted my confidence and during my initial job interviews my participation in the college events and participation helped. I had so many things, experience and learning to talk about. I met budding artist, learnt new things and awareness on Aids. We had a grooming expert like me talking about Way to Future for us. I used to be very shy, but my exposure to such events elevated my confidence and also gave me ability to express and communicate better with people around. All the Best and don't hold back. Go out and explore the world, yourself, be a better person each day and be safe. read less

I guess the best way to be master in any thing is to jump into it directly with the believe that whatever will happen I can handle it. you learn unknown most of the time and thats good for you. may be you get a girl friend, may be you get a new boy friend during fest. may be you need to lead in the event, may be you will be ground support, may be you are anchor. don't focus on role, just focus on your participation and commitment., the more involve you will be the more you will learn. and most important just celebrate whatever you do. keep praising others and someday they wil praise you. praising doesn;t cost you money. read less
