The auspicious chanting of the holy verses of the Bhagavat Gita set the tone for Amrita Fest. Creativity in thoughts and ideas by students marked the Advertisement and Extempore competitions. Students created catchy slogans and banners to address issues such as corruption, clean streets, green environment and tourism in their ad presentations. They had to think quickly in the extempore competition and gave them the opportunity to use humour while talking about topics which focussed on day to day situations.
