Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025

Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025


This blog is an academic assignment prepared under the supervision of Dr. and Prof. Dilip Barad. It highlights the 33rd Inter-College Youth Festival, Bhav Gunjan, organized by Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University. The festival, hosted by the Department of Physical Education and Cultural Activities, was held from October 8 to 11, 2025.

The Youth Festival, affectionately named “Bhav Gunjan”—meaning “The Resonance of Emotion”—was much more than a regular university event. Organized by The Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University (MKBU) from October 8 to 11, 2025, it emerged as a grand cultural and social celebration that brought together creativity, art, and intellect. Over four lively days, the university campus transformed into a vibrant space reflecting the true spirit of Yuvaani ka Mahotsav—a festival dedicated to the energy and imagination of youth.

Kala-yatra  :


   
The Youth Festival began with great enthusiasm through the Kala-Yatra (Art Procession) on October 8, which traveled from Shamaldas Arts College to J.K. Sarvaiya College. More than just a parade, it served as a powerful expression of social consciousness, with each participating college delivering impactful performances that highlighted significant contemporary issues.

Participants courageously addressed issues such as the growing problem of gender-based violence, calling for justice and social reform. They also critiqued the shortcomings of the education system, condemning its rigidity and commercialization, and shed light on the psychological effects of social media, revealing how the virtual world weakens real human relationships. Alongside these critical themes, several groups celebrated Gujarat’s rich cultural heritage, showcasing pride in its traditions, language, and identity—creating a thoughtful balance between social critique and cultural appreciation.

My Journey as a Volunteer at Bhav Gunjan

As a volunteer in the Youth Festival “Bhav Gunjan,” I had the opportunity to witness the event’s vibrant energy and teamwork from behind the scenes. Being part of the organizing team taught me the importance of coordination, time management, and collective effort. From helping participants during performances to managing stage schedules and assisting the cultural committee, every moment was filled with excitement and learning. The experience not only enhanced my confidence and communication skills but also gave me immense pride in contributing to such a grand celebration of youth, creativity, and culture.
