Holi has been celebrated across India in various forms for thousands of years with different names. Some celebrate it as the onset of the summer harvest, and some celebrate it by lighting a fire, but Holi is recognized across all the different cultures that make up India. Holi is the festival of colors, spring, and love. It celebrates the eternal love of Radha and Krishna and the victory of God Vishnu over Hiranyakashipu, signifying the triumph of good over evil. On Holi, we laugh, forgive and repair broken friendships. The common saying "bura na maano Holi hai" perfectly encapsulates the playful spirit of Holi. Holi celebrations start with the ritual of Holika Dahan, where a bonfire is lit, and people pray that all evil is destroyed like Holika was. The following day brings Rangwali Holi (Dhulandi), where colors are affectionately smeared on everyone. Children play with water guns (pichkaris) and balloons while thandai is enjoyed. Music is also played among singing and dancing.



Pravega wishes all of you a very happy Holi this year. May it bring to you joy, happiness, and love. Khelo Holi!

Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, benevolent industrialist and philanthropist was born on 3rd March 1839 in Navsari, Gujarat. He found the Tata group, which would go on to become India’s largest conglomerate company. Jamsetji is also widely considered the biggest philanthropist of the last century, always keen on helping his countrypeople.

In the late 1800s, he envisioned establishing a research university in India. Tata endowed a substantial part of his personal wealth for this ambitious project, and the university started being made. Unfortunately, Tata died in 1904, a few years before a vesting order on 27 May 1909 officially established the Indian Institute of Science.

In remembrance of its creator, IISc celebrates 3rd March every year as Founder’s Day. A flower show is put up on display near the state of JN Tata in front of the main building as a part of the celebration. Celebrate with us the history of IISc and of the prolific man who fathered it, Jamsetji Tata.

Ollie is a smooth-coated otter who lives in IISc. He was curiously spotted alone in IISc last January. He is an amiable creature, and his cheerful and easy-going personality charms everyone he meets. He is friends with animals of all sorts, and they all love him, being his family in the absence of his own. One day, during the annual meeting of all animals, the leader announced a grave threat: humans. Every day, humans were encroaching on their territory and taking their resources. As soon as the speech was over, Ollie, always the quick wit, had an idea. On his late-night strolls on the streets, he had seen a poster of Pravega, the upcoming undergraduate fest of IISc. The next day, he went to meet the Chief Coordinators and told them of his plan. He knew that the only way towards peace is in working together. Pravega was supportive of his idea and believed firmly that the habitat of animals should not be disturbed. Thus arose the first-ever mascot of Pravega: Ollie the Otter! Ollie looks forward to being the face of Pravega, while also spreading the message of environmental protection. What must also be noted is that both Ollie and Pravega share the spirit of an explorer. While Ollie explores IISc on his own, Pravega tries new events and fresh approaches every year. With these similarities in mind, we think Ollie is the perfect Mascot for Pravega.

With this post, we announce the last of our event coordinators for the tenth edition of Prevega.

Recreation:- Times are faster then ever nowadays and the constant demanding nature of life can be very exhusasting. We believe that fests should be enjoyable and refreshing. To this end, we organize a recreation event wherein we host a variety of nostalgic and relaxing games to sooth your mind and power your gaming spirit. This year, our Recreational Coordinators:-
● Pushkal Agrawal
● Sahil Nandi
● Sanjithcumarasurier

will make sure you have a fun time at Pravega.

Finance :- It is hardly a secret that the flow of money is continuous throughout fests. That being the case, we need people to allot funds, prepare budgets and keep track of all the finances. This is a heavy responsibility and very capable people are essential. Our Finance Coordinators this year:-
● Pratik Bhowmik
● Jyotirmoy Biswal
are the wonderful people standing tall beside this responsibility.

Content :- A lot of content, big and small, has to be written every year for the fest. Mails, brochures, websites, posters and even Instagram captions (like this one) come through continuously. Concise and effective writing can make a massive difference in the success of the fest. This year, our Content Coordinators:-
● Diya Sarkar and
● Zenith Malhotra
will serve to assist all the other events and make writing look seamless.

These were all of our coordinators! Stay tuned for important updates on Pravega soon.

As Pravega gears up for its tenth season, we continue announcing the people who make it all happen: -

Cultural Coordinator :- Every year, Pravega organizes a plethora of cultural events that display the artistic expression and creative expertise of our students. These events help us all remember our roots, unifying us in our diversity, while being a welcome break from the cut-throat nature of our quizzes. This year, our Cultural Coordinator
● Tanisha Kumar
will organize these mesmerizing events.

Pronites Coordinators:- Pronites has historically been one of the biggest highlights of Pravega, bringing in talented musicians and hosting electrifying performances that draw people from afar every year. This year, our Pronites coordinators
● Rohan Kushwaha
● Jitendriya Praharaj
will make sure Pronites is more exciting than ever before. You'll remember this one for a long time!

Logistics Coordinators :- Logistics is arguably the single most important and ubiquitous component of organizing a fest like Pravega. Arrangements need to be made for a myriad of things at every step, and both a calm head and quick thinking are necessary. This year, our Logistics Coordinators:-
● Kumar Satyadarshi
● Vivekkumar Harishkumar Sailor
● Vishal Gaur
are the capable shoulders we are resting this massive responsibility on.

Design Coordinators :- From the very beginning to the end of Pravega, tons of things need to be designed. Our beautiful logos, posters for all events, pamphlets for publicity, banners and a variety of other projects are tirelessly crafted and revised so they look appealing and fresh. It's challenging work, but our Design coordinators this year:-
● Dipayan Datta
● Tirtharenu Chakraborty
are exactly the determined and technically skilled people we need. Expect to be delighted by the designs this year!

Meet the members of the following core teams that are central to running Pravega.

● Workshop:- Workshops are a very central piece of Pravega every year, where people come from afar to gain skill and expertise in various disciplines among sessions held by experts. To manage a large crowd of people well and make sure everyone has a good time is easier said than done. This year, our Workshop Coordinators:-
1) Aman Goyal
2) Rajvardhan Subhash Parghane
3) Shivam Prakash
have accepted the responsibility of organizing this flagship event.

● Merchandise:- Merchandise is a crucial part in the experience of attending a fest. It helps us remember the event long after it has ended, and wear our involvement with pride. Every year, we strive to make merchandise that is memorable, catchy and comfortable. Our Merchandise coordinators this year:-
1) Pugazhendhi A D,
2) Sankalp Samdariya
3) Tejas Vinod Mandape

have taken it upon themselves to manage this massive endeavor.

● Publicity:- No event can be successful unless people know about it. The importance of good, targeted and vast publicity of an event cannot be overstated. Every year, we attract thousands of people to our fest, largely due to our wonderful publicity teams. This year, our coordinators
1) Kartikay Verma
2) Ashish Omar
will make sure that the world knows of Pravega.

● Decoration:- Is it even a fest if the halls, the streets, the auditoriums don't dazzle in colors? Decoration makes our fest look vibrant and festive. Every year, our Decoration coordinators leave no stone unturned in helping our event achieve its vision and themes. This year,
1) Oviya G
is our talented Decoration Coordinator.

Meet the members of the following core teams that are central to running Pravega.

• We have an amazing group of people who work behind all the fuss to get the sponsorships that turn all the gears and make the event possible. They work relentlessly and pull some big brands to sponsor Pravega every year. This year, the talented people helming this responsibility are :-
1) Shreenabh Agrawal
2) Tejus Rohatgi
3) Jasnoor Singh
4) Shreshth Jaiswal

• At its core, Pravega has always been a science and technology fest. We attract some of the best scientifically inclined minds to our famous sci-tech events. Naturally, we need smart and determined people to manage these events, all the way from making the questions to organizing the quizzes. Our Sci-Tech coordinators:-
1) Krishna Bharadwaj
2) Dhruba Dey
3) Debadrito Roy
are just those incredible people.

• In today’s day and age, most of the world is online. It is extremely important that Pravega too has a website that reflects the beauty of the fest. It goes without saying that this is a task as important as any, given the registrations, the promotion and often even the perception of the fest hinges on its website. Our Website coordinators :-
1) Soumyadeep Sarma
2) Shelly
will be displaying their skills this year.
