**Diwali Mela**

LSR came alive with vibrant colours and festivity on 1^st November, 2010. The shift from the boring classes to jubilant exultation, was to celebrate the festival of lights i.e. diwali. The traditional festival of lights with its significant message of victory of good over evil was celebrated with great pomp and show. Every year the celebration is earmarked by a small diwali mela organized by the NSS (National Social Service Organization) of LSR.

The mela was a happy affair with its assortment of food, games, accessories and the like. The presence of Rajasthan dancer’s, Punjabi dhol and a street play group left nothing else to be desired for. The festive mood was in full swing with every stall thronged by girls dancing either to the tune of Punjabi pop or Eminem rap. Apart from the stall’s set up by the NGO’s under the NSS, the different societies of LSR had also set up their respective stalls.

Entretia, the e- cell of LSR had also set up a stall at the diwali mela. Our stall was placed conveniently in the mela so as to capture more eyeballs, sell more products and hence earn more profit. The item’s exhibited for sale at our stall were cool flat chappals, assorted candies’, cloth bags, eco-friendly and multipurpose vase and customized posters. This was not all as there was also a betting game which required the individual to complete the task without tearing the paper given to the individual. Every member of the e-cell contributed in the successful sale of the items in the stall in their own way. For instance, some had taken up the duty of taking charge of the stall and persuading the customer’s into buying the items for sale at the diwali mela. The items were sold at “customer pocket friendly prices” like one pair of chappals for 130 rupees, bag for 165 rupees, and vase for 15 rupees and so on. This was the primary reason for the voluminous sale of our items at the diwali mela.

This effective pricing strategy helped us in earning profit and increasing the immensity of this festivity. The success of the event should also be attributed to all the members of the e-cell who volunteered and worked as a team under the praiseworthy leadership of the e-cell coordinator’s Smriti and Swati.

Two day NEN workshop!

On 29th and 30th October, a 2-day workshop was conducted by NEN at APIM, Noida. The workshop saw enthusiastic participation from all the E-Leaders of colleges from Delhi-NCR. Two Entretia members also got a chance to attend the workshop.

The main objectives of the workshop were:

• Driving the development of a community

• Importance of staying connected for E-cells and E leaders

• How to: Scaling Up and Tap into the community

The workshops were a gush of fresh air literally, instead of sounding like ‘rocket science’, as entrepreneurship workshops generally turn out to be, they were interesting and had loads of fun activities to keep us on our toes! From sketching random stuff to putting puzzles together, we did it all and I must say people enjoyed it a lot! A lot of the students present put forward the problems they face in running their E-cells and then later solutions were worked out for the same. In all it was a great experience, an event not to be missed for sure! :)

Logo Making Competition

The logo making competition organized by Entretia saw active participation by students. The numerous entries which we received is proof enough of that. Students from all the three years and different courses turned up at the given time for the event and soon the venue i.e. the Principal’s gazebo transformed into an artist’s paradise (see pic). Students came with really innovative ideas and cool concepts. Our judge for the event Mr. Shadab Mobin had a really tough time choosing the winner. Finally Chhavi was declared the winner. Also, the winning entry will serve as the official logo for Entretia!

National Entrepreneurship Network Session

Entretia organized the orientation of National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN) on our campus this Thursday. The interactive session took place in room no 28, and keeping in mind the fact that it is the ‘assignment season’ in our college – almost every department is busy with assignments- we had pretty good crowd for the event. The session unfolded slowly with a short presentation which was followed by a witty and straightforward talk on entrepreneurship. The audience which was pretty much impressed by Mr. Siddharth’s speaking skills and good sense of humour, made the session all the more interesting. The session turned out to be a fun event, where not only did the students interact with the NEN representatives during the workshop, but they could be seen talking to them even after the session was over. Thanks to the Entrepreneurship cell of our college we got to attend such a lively session after a long time!
