TESTIMONIALS

“I was extremely happy when I came to know from Parag sir that I was chosen as the Vidhyut’22 Head, he told me to form my committee and asked, ‘karloge na ?’ to which I replied, ‘yes sir,for sure!’... Throughout the process Prabhat Sir and Jayshree ma’am had been a huge support and mentored all of us well, their comforting words,‘sahil beta ho jayega tension mat lo’ really motivated me to push myself but also go easy.

To head such a big techfest was definitely a huge learning outcome for me and all of us. We went through everything together and shared lots of fun memories, working through the sleepless nights and finally celebrating the outcome which all of us made possible in a short span of time.

At the end I want to conclude that in this techfest I have observed and experienced many things like pressure,tension, joy, sleepless nights etc. and I know it will help me in some or the other way in my life” ~Sahil Dunani( Vidhyut’22 Head)

“I'd like to say it was a new thing to do , as I was co head of SR last year I had some experience in that field but when it comes to heading a group of 45 juniors it was not easy, but I had the support of my co-heads, so it made things better. I learnt about time management , Multi-tasking, leadership skills , staying calm in stressful situations and how one can have fun while focusing on their work. Jayshree ma'am and Prabhat sir were amazing mentors during this situation, they listened to our problems and gave us solutions. Parag sir helped us too and the OC was amazing as always.” ~Harshada Vaidya (SR Head)

“I was really grateful for heading the documentation team, and doing something I have always liked!. Creativity is a habit and it is not necessary that it would always flow, so in that case I am extremely grateful for my Co-head and team who have always had my back in terms of creativity and work!, also working in Vidhyut offline for the first time was an experience on its own and the entire OC and faculty in-charge were amazing and we made a great team as a whole ” ~ Shreya Puthran (Documentation Head)

“It was an amazing experience working this year in Vidhyut. After almost 2 years we had the event offline and I was thrilled to be heading the Events team. Though some events got cancelled, it did not affect the amount of fun and joy we had while conducting the whole thing. Juniors were of great help and previously being a part of Vidhyut, it feels good to be back again”
~Yash Chauhan (Events Head)

“So this was my first year witnessing Vidhyut and I started off as the photography head for the same. Along with the wonderful OC, I enjoyed my time working with them and made sure that this was one of the best fests we ever had. From capturing late night outs to the actual fest days I personally think that we gave our best for it. Looking forward for Vidhyut'23 and hoping that it'll be more successful than its predecessors.” ~Tarush Pandey (Photography Head)

“My experience as technical head of Vidhyut 2022 was worthwhile. I learned a lot of things such as time management, maintaining synergy with the team, solving challenges, being accountable for my decision, solving problems and most importantly effectively interacting with my team members. I came across a lot of things, made a few good friends and shared some of the most memorable experiences. All I can say at last is it started as a team and ended more like a family.” ~Vinayak Sharma (Technical Head)

“Organising the whole techfest in just three days was really difficult, yet we decided to step up and make things happen. Knowing that things won't be in our favour, we aced it nonetheless, and the bar was raised higher for the years to come. All in all‚ being a part of the OC was just incredible.” ~Nileesha Deshpande(Hospitality Head)

“It was absolutely great working with the team. I can say with conviction that being part of Vidhyut has been no less than, the best. For me, it really was a privilege to work with Prabhat sir, Parag sir, and Jayshree mam, along with co-heads Aman Kumar and Hemant Jaiswal, it was a wonderful learning experience. I was also given the opportunity to work under the guidance of Deputy Director Nitin Sir and the Accounts Officer, which further contributed to my knowledge. I had always believed that “It is only by working together and cooperating with one another, that the aspirants can achieve the goals that they cannot realize separately.” I sensed a unanimous recognition in the team that we were all in one boat and must work together. I have found that being part of this techfest has led to immense growth in my oratory skills, management skills, leadership skills, and a holistic upswing in my personality.” ~Riya Mehta(Finance Head)

“In this journey of almost a month I learned a lot. I had so much fun working with our best seniors. I worked with every team of Vidhyut, and I had some memorable moments in every team. I learned lifelong lessons like writing creatively, to convince anyone, to do publicity for the event, graphic designing, to host any event and the list is so long. In the end I would like to Thank all the Organizing Committee members of VIDHYUT’22, hope to work with you all in future also. ~ Tanya Singh(Documentation Co-Head and Volunteer)

“Vidhyut 2022 for me was a great learning and social experience, learning how to manage and conduct events, working under stress, and still flaunting were some of the learning points. Interaction with seniors and learning more about the course and our college, socializing, and making friends were few bonuses along the path of the Techfest, and also quite a nice line adding to our resume.” ~ Zubin Sharma(Logistics Co-Head and Volunteer)
