Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025

 Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025

This blog has been prepared as an academic assignment under the guidance of Dr. and Prof. Dilip Barad. It focuses on the 33rd Inter-College Youth Festival, “Bhav Gunjan,” organized by The Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University. The event was hosted by the Department of Physical Education and Cultural Activities and took place from October 8 to October 11, 2025.

The Youth Festival, fondly titled “Bhav Gunjan”—a phrase that poetically translates to *“The Resonance of Emotion”—was far more than a routine entry on the university calendar. Hosted by The Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University (MKBU) from October 8th to 11th, 2025, the event stood as a grand socio-cultural celebration, uniting imagination, artistry, and intellect. Across four vibrant days, the university campus came alive as a dynamic embodiment of the ‘Yuvaani ka Mahotsav’, truly symbolizing the festival of youth and creativity.

Kala-yatra  :

The Youth Festival opened with remarkable energy through the Kala-Yatra (Art Procession) on October 8th, a vibrant showcase that journeyed from Shamaldas Arts College to J.K. Sarvaiya College. More than a parade, it was a moving statement of social awareness, as each college presented thought-provoking performances addressing pressing contemporary issues.

Participants boldly highlighted the rise in gender-based violence, demanding justice and societal change; the flaws in the education system, criticizing its rigidity and commercialization; and the psychological impact of social media, exposing how virtual life erodes genuine human connection. Amid these serious reflections, other groups celebrated Gujarat’s cultural heritage, expressing pride in its traditions, language, and identity—balancing critique with cultural affirmation.
