Rakhi Mela Organised at Home Science college

Date: 11 August, 2022

One day Rakhi Mela is organised at Government  Home Science college, Sec. 10, Chandigarh by Deptt. of Arts and Placement Cell on Aug. 10,2022. The main objective was to provide a platform to the students to exhibit and  sell Rakhis specially prepared for the festival of Rakshabandhan by the students.  The budding entrepreneurs of the college displayed innovative  rakhis varying from elegant yet simple threads to ornate one’s studded with pearls and stones. The price range varied from Rs.10 to Rs.100. The main attraction of this Mela was Rakhis for kids and baju bandh (armlets) for sister-in law.  The stalls attracted a huge footfall. The students putting up the stalls witnessed a heavy rush with various staff members crowding stalls to pick from an array of eye catching designer Rakhis.

Principal Prof Sudha Katyal appreciated the efforts of students and mentors and said that such exhibitions are consistently encouraged in the college to give opportunity to students to earn while they learn.
