Threads and Talent
Bandhan, a project of RAC Sathaye College, RID 3141, “has been a cherished tradition of our club for over a decade,” says Shravani Ingavale, the club secretary. This year, the project involved selling handcrafted rakhis in the college. The rakhis were made by students at the V D Indian Society, a Mumbai-based NGO that supports children with mental disabilities. The drive aimed to combine festivity with meaningful financial support for the organisation.
Out of 115 rakhis crafted by the students, 110 were sold, and funds raised through the project were donated back to the NGO. “The drive not only raised awareness about the incredible work being done at the V D Indian Society but also allowed us to contribute to a meaningful cause,” Shravani adds.
The club organised Tashanbaaz — Quest for the Best, a talent competition sponsored by Red FM, Boomer, and Maruti Suzuki. This event attracted around 250–300 students and showcased the vibrant talent within the college.
With over 35 participants, the talent show featured a variety of performances, including dance, music, drama and stand-up comedy. “The atmosphere was electric as performers captivated the audience with their skills and creativity. RJ Jiya from Red FM served as a judge, providing valuable feedback and encouragement to the participants,” she says.
