Indradhanush to be held next month: VC Dr Yeole

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Vice-chancellor of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu) Dr Pramod Yeole said that the university would organise ‘Indradanush’ the state-level inter-university youth festival, next month.

He was speaking at the prize presentation ceremony of the four-day Central Youth Festival (CYF) held in Bamu on Saturday.

The office of the Governor and chancellor of the universities gives the responsibility of hosting the Indradhanush to a public university of the State every year. The top three winners of each competition in university-level Youth Festivals participate in the inter-university level festival. This year, the Raj Bhavan asked Bamu to conduct Indradhanush. VC Dr Pramod Yeole said that the university conducted three CYFs successfully in the campus. He hoped that the Bamu would host the Indradhanush perfectly. “The young artists who were shaped in the CYF will be ‘brand ambassadors of the university,” he added. Earlier, Dr Mustajeeb Khan made an introductory speech.
