This year Ganpati Festival was celebrated with the students and their families at their homes as SVIMS opted for virtual celebrations. Teams Microsoft link was floated by the students inviting all the others to join in the celebrations. Due to the somber environment (Covid 19), the festivities were not held at a grand scale, as is the tradition of SVIMS. But the event was conducted with full devotion. The Festival was celebrated with the objectives of promoting eco-friendly practices during Ganapati pooja celebrations; to promote awareness and understanding about the spiritual and cultural ideals related to the festival and to celebrate the diversity of the rich Indian culture and heritage.
