    Street Play

    The heart of Delhi University Theatre Circuit, Nukkad Natak, is an art known for its aim to bring change, awareness, and revolution in the society. With 'Bandi' (2011-12) and 'Haq hai' (2013-14) as the initial street productions, humble beginnings were given to the society, followed by 'Kar-maa' (2014-15), which was widely appreciated among its audience for its heart touching appeal.

  • SPICMACAY stands for “Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth”. It is a voluntary organization spread across the nation. It was founded with an aim to disseminate the beauty, grace and wisdom embodied in the traditional and classical Indian art forms among the youth of the nation with a hope that the ancient art shall become an integral part of their lives, dreams and aspirations.

  • Established in 2012, Vagmita is an ensemble of poets, writers and readers. Since its inception, the multilingual literary society of Keshav Mahavidyalaya has bench-marked its existence in the Delhi and national poetry circuit with an incessant number of achievements.
    Each year, the members participate in various slam poetry and creative writing competitions, kavi sammelans, and open mics and have won laurels at various prestigious institutes like IIT-D, IIT-B, IIT-K, SRCC, DTU, AIIMS to name a few. Our poets, being the crème de la crème of the poetry space in Delhi, have been featured by several artist collectives.
    Vagmita also hosts Jashn-E-Adeeb, its flagship event every year. Throughout this journey, the students experience, learn and achieve milestones using their shared love for poetry as a means to make sense of themselves, each other and the world.

  • We are the wizards of words, cracks in the lenses of conventionalism, curators of curiosity. Our work is to define the definitions themselves. Vagmita Debsoc was founded with one motive: making its members its namesake: Vagmita, meaning ‘eloquence’. The word eloquence has its origin in the ‘eloqui’, meaning ‘speak out, which is essentially what we do; speaking out what needs to be said, and more importantly, what needs to be heard.
    Vagmita Debsoc has ventured into parliamentary debating, extempores, group discussions, and many other custom forms of debating apart from the conventional ones, in Hindi and in English as well. Even though still in relatively nascent stages, Vagmita Debsoc has established a niche for itself in the debating sphere, owing to the relentless debaters it has had over the years. The society has won major accolades across the debating circuit, including the coveted ‘Best Society’ award from the Education Tree.
    Over the years, Vagmita Debsoc has become a space for people to disagree without falling out, emphasizing on that fact that the aim of debating is not to agree, but to accept and understand, even when one disagrees with it. The society vies to continue doing that, along with further establishing itself in the debating circuit.
