It is imperative to acknowledge the success story of every woman in a world where gender inequality and female discrimination continue to rule over. The theme chosen for women’s day 2022 is ‘Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow’. It holds significance against the backdrop of rapid climate change and environmental disasters the twenty-first century has been a witness to. This women’s observance is in recognition and celebration of the women and girls who are leading the charge on climate change adaptation and response, and to honour their leadership and contribution towards a sustainable future.
We believe in respecting women and recognising their achievements in every walk of life. Our faculty, students and staff take pride in being at a work environment where the voices of women are heard, their actions and achievements are appreciated and celebrated.

Cyberbullying and its mental impact
2022-03-19 19:00 - 20:00
Cyberbullying has become an everyday menace facing the present society. The effects of such virtual world threats can be unfathomable. As an increasing number of people continue to fall prey to such harassment, it is a compelling necessity to raise caution against cyberbullying and spread awareness of the mental trauma it culminates in.
The Department of Student Affairs is bringing forth a productive session, How cyberbullying can deteriorate your mental health? with Ms Liza Hazarika to alert students on the psychological impact associated with cyberbullying and how to effectively deal with it.
Date: March 19, 2022
Time: 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm IST

Redefining the beauty standards
2022-04-23 11:00 - 12:00
Imagine being taught from a very young age that you must cater to the expectations of each and everyone around you but not yours. Think about the times you tried to fit yourself in someone else’s set of standards. Falling into the rabbit hole of hating our own appearance has become easy ever since the media started setting unrealistic beauty standards. Rise of social media fitness gurus and influencers, who are obsessed with the unreasonable “flaws” in our bodies, accelerated the process. This led to a myriad of issues ranging from eating disorders to anxiety and depression.
Claiming the existence of an alternate explanation of beauty outside the stereotypes is thus the need of the hour. Cherishing yourself the way you are is not just an act of love but a socio-political statement. The ability to choose how to use your own body, irrespective of an outsider’s opinion, is an essential right of every individual.
The Department of Student Affairs is organising a session, ‘Reclaiming bodily autonomy’ with Ms Sridevi Srinath to help you unlearn the standard narratives of beauty. Let you be the one who decides what to do and what not to do with your body.
Date: April 23, 2022
Time: 11.00 am to 12.00 pm IST

Demystifying the essence of yoga
2022-04-28 15:45 - 17:45
“Yoga is the practice of tolerating the consequences of being yourself” – Bhagavad Gita
Have you ever tried to demystify the meaning of yoga? Yoga, sometimes undefinable, is a multifaceted term having several layers of meaning embedded into it. For some, it’s a form of exercise. For some others, yoga is a religion or a philosophy. And you may have also come across the perception deduced by many that yoga is just a way of life. So, what exactly is yoga? How do you give it an all-encompassing definition?
The term yoga literally means “union”. It is the coming together of body, mind, emotions, and energy to render you the complete experience of being you. It takes one on the transcendental journey to explore one’s true self. It also anchors as an ultimate solution to all the sufferings and woes that weigh you down.
The Department of Student Affairs is hosting a series of events marking the arrival of International Yoga Day, 2022. As part of the series, a yoga session has been organised to walk our students through the enchanting exercise of knowing thyself.
Date: April 28, 2022
Time: 3.35 pm
Venue: New Academic Block- S207
We invite all our students to take this infant stride into a bigger journey of discovering the inner self.

Renewing a battle that is worth fighting for
2022-06-05 08:00 - 10:00
Imagine a motto having the same relevance and emergency even after 50 years of its inception! The slogan for the Stockholm Conference, #OnlyOneEarth of 1972, can relate. The theme is as pertinent as ever, with a lot more amplified concerns. This World Environment Day, revisit the actuality that Mother Earth is still the only liveable planet we have. Nature conservation is that battle we plot against ourselves only to win back what we destroyed.
The reckless devastations can only be nullified through transformative actions which can reset the balance between humanity and nature. Getting out of the denial stage and acting accordingly is the only way to preserve nature for the next generation. A greener, cleaner, and sustainable tomorrow will always be a matter of urgency with the escalating environmental issues.
The Department of Student Affairs is celebrating World Environment Day to spread hopes and action plans for protecting what we have in order to restore what we lost. The celebration aspires to emphasise and accelerate the thoughts on the predicament situation we are in. As part of the event, there will also be an awareness rally to foster the essence of the message.

Time: 08.00 AM to 10.00 AM IST
Come along and renew the pledge to embrace mother nature!

Fostering an Eco-Conscious Generation
2022-06-05 08:00 - 10:00
World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th to raise awareness of the dire need to combat the global climate and environmental crisis and reinforce the timeless message that Earth is the only habitable planet. The university commemorated World Environment Day through an awareness rally to instil the importance of environmental conservation among the academic community. Prof. D Narayana Rao, Pro-Vice-Chancellor was the chief guest for the event and motivated students and the university to facilitate discussions on ways to combat current environmental challenges and urged for environmental conservation.

Classical concert on Annamacharya Sankeertanas
2022-06-08 16:00 - 17:00
Tallapaka Annamacharya, popularly known as ‘Anamayya’, was a 15th-century saint and the earliest known Indian musician to compose songs called sankeertanas in praise of Lord Venkateswara. His compositions have strongly influenced the structure of Carnatic Music and are still making rounds in various music concerts and performances the world over.
Having composed countless odes to Sri Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy, Annamacharya is widely regarded as the Pada Kavitaa Pitamaha of Telugu poetry. He was a reputed singer and an eminent poet who gave life to the Telugu song and lyricism by blending the Telugu ‘Andhra Vedam’ for the easy understanding of the common man, with the summary of ‘Sanskrit Vedas’.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, also known as TTD, are on an endeavour to preserve the rich heritage of his compositions. They have set music to over 800 compositions of Annamacharya that have amassed wide popularity among the devotees. We are delighted to announce that the following TTD musicians will be offering a beautiful rendition of Annamacharya’s compositions at our university campus:
Mr M B Loganatha Reddy (Singer)
Mr Srinivasulu (Keyboard)
Mr Bujji (Tabla)
Mr Ramachandraiyya (Shruthi)

Yesterday you said tomorrow!
2022-07-07 16:00 - 17:00
Procrastination is irrational and existential at its core. The ambiguous nature of self-awareness makes us feel rotten and glad at the same time while putting things off for a moment. It is a coping mechanism to resist the challenging emotions caused by the sight of certain tasks. That’s why procrastination is never an issue of time management but emotion regulation. It becomes a habit and not a once-in-a-blue-moon phenomenon.
The Department of Student Affairs is coming up with a talk on Today is the new Tomorrow – Beat procrastination, which will be handled by Student Counsellor Ms Sridevi Srinath. It’s time to break the ties between procrastination and productivity. It has nothing to do with the effectiveness of productive effort but with managing emotions. This session will help you break the procrastination cycle and develop an action plan that works for you.
Date: July 07, 2022
Time: 4 pm to 5 pm
About the speaker
Ms Sridevi Srinath has been in the field of counselling for over eight years. She holds an MSc in Counselling Psychology from Madras School of Social Work and an MPhil in Psychology from the University of Madras. Working in a school previously, she has over five years of experience in impacting the lives of children and adults across issues such as anxiety, stress, behavioural changes, soft and life skills, and career guidance, to name a few. She also has certification from UCLA Extension in Career Guidance and Counselling.
Let tomorrow be a fallacy; start getting your stuff done today

Find your place behind the screen
2022-07-07 18:00 - 2022-07-11 20:00
No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul
– Ingmar Bergman
Inside the dark space of a movie theatre, it’s just us, the screen, and the projecting light against the world. We join the revolt of the artist against the real. The very idea of perceiving the comfort and discomfort of a cinema while sitting with a bunch of unfamiliar faces is enough to make you fall into the rabbit hole of filmmaking.
Ever wondered how people connect with people through mere moving images? Ever think of the stories you want to tell but cannot fix frames and pour life into them? It is the filmmaking enthusiast in you who makes you think of what is in a frame and what is out.
The fascinating thing about cinema is that it is an endless tool made up of pretty much the same elements. Cinema uses the language of dreams and each of them is entirely different from the other. The Movie Club is ready with a filmmaking workshop to awaken the storyteller in you. The workshop offers an intensive and instructional five-day programme focusing on the five main agents of cinema, including Scriptwriting, Direction, Photography, Editing, and Acting.
Date: From July 7 to July 11, 2022
Time: 6 PM
With every good film you see, you feel reborn

Breaking the contract with unnecessary stress
2022-07-22 16:00 - 17:00
Stress is an inescapable element of the modern age. At its core, stress is a response method of the body to the unpredictability of everyday life. People try their best to cope with the challenging changes in day-to-day life. When you let all those entangled thoughts and feelings percolate instead of finding the source of the things that stress you out, it starts to take a toll on your emotional and physical health. That’s why it’s important to find ways to mitigate your body and mind’s stress responses.
The Department of Student Affairs is conducting a session on Time to kick the stress out to convey the importance of identifying harmful stress and managing it in the best way possible. Your intention shouldn’t be to eliminate all the stress but the unnecessary stress and effectively manage the rest. Student Counsellor Ms Liza Hazarika will be handling the session.
Date: July 22, 2022
Time: 4.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Venue: ALC 3 – Admin Block
