A Celebration of Colors, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship
The campus of CIMAGE Group of Institutions came alive with colors, excitement, and entrepreneurial spirit during the grand Holi Mela 2026. The event brought together students, faculty members, and staff to celebrate the festival of colors in a vibrant and joyful atmosphere.
The Holi Mela was formally inaugurated by Shri Vimal Jain Ji along with the respected Director Dr. Prof. Neeraj Agrawal, marking the beginning of a lively and memorable celebration filled with creativity, learning, and festive enthusiasm.
One Day Startup Concept – Learning Beyond the Classroom
One of the most remarkable highlights of Holi Mela 2026 was the “One Day Startup” concept, where students transformed the campus into a vibrant marketplace of ideas and innovation.
Approximately 42 student stalls were set up across the campus, each managed entirely by students. These stalls included a variety of food items, fun games, and creative activities. From traditional festive dishes to innovative snacks and unique presentations, every stall reflected the students’ enthusiasm, teamwork, and entrepreneurial mindset.
Through this activity, students experienced real-world business learning such as planning, budgeting, pricing, marketing, customer handling, and profit calculation. The Holi Mela therefore became not just a festival celebration, but also a practical entrepreneurial learning platform for students.
Director’s Interaction with Student Stalls
A very special and inspiring moment of the event was when Director Dr. Prof. Neeraj Agrawal personally visited the student stalls. He interacted with the students, appreciated their creativity, and encouraged them to treat their stalls like real startups.
Director Sir observed the presentation of stalls, tasted food items prepared by students, and shared valuable suggestions about quality, pricing, customer experience, and business planning.
For many students, it was a proud and memorable moment to present their ideas directly to the Director and receive appreciation for their efforts.
Director’s Motivational Address to Students
During the event, Director Dr. Prof. Neeraj Agrawal also delivered a motivational address to the students. In his speech, he encouraged students to actively participate in such events as they provide practical exposure beyond classroom learning.
He highlighted that activities like the One Day Startup during Holi Mela help students develop important life skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking.
Director Sir motivated students to always think innovatively, work with dedication, and use every opportunity to learn something new. His words inspired students to build confidence, develop problem-solving abilities, and prepare themselves for real-world challenges.
His encouraging message added great value to the celebration and left a lasting impression on the students.
