Registration for Central Youth Festival begins

Aurangabad, Sept 19:

The senior college boys and girls from within the jurisdiction of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu) will get an opportunity to showcase their talent and creativity through the Central Youth Festival (CYF) after a gap of two years.

Bamu’s Students Development Board (SDB) commenced the registration process for the CYF for the academic year 2022-23 and its last date is October 5.

The university hosts the youth festival every year to provide a platform for youths to showcase their talent. However, the festival was not held during the last two academic years because of the Covid outbreak.

More than 2300 boys and girls participate in the festival every time. All the academic institutes were reopened on normal mode after two years, so, the university decided to conduct the CYF this year.

Director of SDB Dr Sanjay Sambhalkar asked the affiliated colleges to pay registration fees online. There are 480 undergraduate and postgraduate colleges with 4.50 lakh students in Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed and Osmanabad districts.
