Kshitij ’07 – On the spot events

Kshitij (1st to 4th Feb, ’07) is the annual Techno-Management Festival of IIT Kharagpur. And being a part of IIT KGP, VGSOM has always been a hyper-enthusiastic participant. But it’s not just about participating. It’s also about organising. And quite a few of my batchmates have been working really hard at helping ensure that Kshitij goes off smoothly.

Some of the On the spot events they’re organising are …
