Performers cast spell at youth fest

A vibrant celebration of talent and creativity unfolded as young performers and intellectuals from the northern region captivated audiences at the 38th AIU (Association of Indian Universities) North Zone Youth Festival 2025.

Enthralling performances in One Act Play, Western Instrumental Solo, Group Song (Western) and Classical Instrumental Solo (Percussion) reflected the dedication and artistic excellence of the participants.

Beyond the stage, creativity thrived in cartooning, poster and collage making, where students from Punjab, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir showcased their artistic vision.

The debate and quiz (preliminary round) saw sharp-witted discussions and intellectual exchanges, adding depth to the festival’s dynamic atmosphere.

As the festival progresses, an exciting lineup awaits on February 3, featuring Skit, Western Vocal Solo, Group Song (Indian), Folk Tribal Dance, On-the-Spot Painting, Clay Modelling, Installation, Elocution and the much-anticipated Quiz Final.
