An Extravaganza of Brilliance and Inspiration: Reliving the Annual Day Function at SREC
Upon my ingress into the brimming auditorium, a palpable aura of exhilaration pervaded the air. The throngs of animated students eagerly anticipating the annual day function contributed to the bustling atmosphere. I meticulously perused the surroundings in search of a desirable seat to partake in the forthcoming motivational anecdotes.
It was not long ere the commencement of the ceremony students who had procured the illustrious accolade of Best Outgoing Students graced the stage. Their commendable accomplishments and unwavering commitment to scholastic excellence left an indelible imprint on my mind and the entirety of the audience present.
Also worthy of mention is the monumental efforts that our management
weaves into the intricacies of education to nurture fine arts. In that
vein, one of our alumni has instituted Sangeeth Sadhana and Nrithya
Sadhana awards for students excelling in music and dance, respectively.
The recipient of these awards added colour to the environs with their
presence.
Hence, the Annual Day Function at Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College
