Cultural Secretary
Five times the sponsorship, and a ground more people could dance on.
Elected by the hostel as Cultural Secretary, the one event that mattered most was Thanganat, the Navratri festival: nine nights of garba for the whole campus.
Two things changed that year. The sponsorship, which went from thirty thousand rupees to a lakh and a half. And the ground itself.
What changed that year
The sponsors
From ₹30,000 to ₹1.5 lakh, by treating a hostel festival like an event worth paying for.
The ground
Garba is danced in circles. The venue was a square. Redrawing it as a round ground meant more people could play at once, and nobody tripped over a corner.
Nine nights
Run without a hitch, which is the only review a garba gets.
