Yuvaan

The

Literary Fest

of DTU

DTU’s first literary fest, Yuvaan united readers, writers, poets and inspiring personalities on one platform. From
poetry slams to word wars to the reading lounge, there was something for everyone.
The Fest which was organized on the 20th and 21st of January featured inspirational guest lectures by eminent
personalities like Major General G.D. Bakshi and Rohit Sardana and a multitude of literary events with a modern
twist that made it all the more special.

Kavi Kavi Sammelan, which followed the inauguration of Yuvaan, was a runaway hit with the
audience, which consisted of lively college students and venerable dignitaries alike -
including the Vice Chancellor himself, who delivered a humorous, thought provoking
address which left the audience both in splits and wiser.
Sammelan After the traditional lamp lighting ceremony, the night was set for some rib-tickling,
soulful verses delivered in the most laudable way by some of the city’s finest poets.
From satirical and comical verses on way of life, to musing why one must stop smiling
amidst such pain in this world, the evening had it all.

Competitions On the first day, the ‘lit’ fest witnessed a myriad of events ranging from Grey Matter,
a quiz on current affairs to Ad Mad, an advertisement making competition for the
dramatic folk. Ankahe Alfaaz brought forth the writers within and Panorama put the
artists and the detectives together. Let’s Witticise, a stand up comedy event was the
At highlight of the day and the Bonfire Night with good music was the icing on the cake
of a perfect day.

The second day was able to build on the excitement developed during the first day
because of the vying spirit demonstrated by the participants. The poetic talent of the
Yuvaan youth was on display in the Poetry Slam, while the fiery oratory skills of many were
showcased in Word War. The offbeat food critiquing event Foodie-licious provided just
the right amount of spice on the final day to make DTU’s first literary fest a memorable
affair. The noon became delightful with an amalgam of the literary magic of seasoned
poets and first timers in Poets’ Collective.
