Message from the Vice Chancellor - Dr Fr Joseph CC

The excitement around the Crescendo 2024 – The South Zone Youth Festival fills me with great memories of our dynamic youth. This festival, organized in collaboration with the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), is more than just an event; it is a meaningful opportunity for students to express their artistic and cultural identities It allows young minds to shine and forge connections within the community as artists and performers in music, dance, and theatre, among other disciplines. This is an avenue where imagination and creativity come together, paving the way to a promising future. 

Located in the backdrop of lush greenery and equipped with modern facilities, our campus at Kengeri provides an inspiring environment for students across universities to exhibit their talents. Christ University, with a mission to nurture excellence among youngsters and foster a culture of curiosity and critical thinking, empowers every student to become future leaders and change-makers. The Kengeri campus, with its vibrant nature, offers an ideal setting for cooperative learning and growth by enabling participants to exchange ideas with peers from diverse backgrounds. These connections are essential to the development of well-rounded people who can significantly impact society.

In a nation where youth form the backbone of our population, we must fully embrace such events that champion innovation and social responsibility. This gathering of youthful brilliance stands as a powerful testament to artistic expression and limitless potential, serving as a catalyst for young minds to create and co-create progressive ideals.

The festival embodies our commitment to empowering youth through cultural programs that uphold and promote values of tolerance, understanding, and harmony. I extend my heartfelt wishes for the success of the South Zone Youth Festival. May this event inspire all participants to rise as cultural ambassadors, positively impacting society while embodying the values of peace, tolerance, and national integration.
