Cultural programs provide opportunities for students to develop confidence in self-expression and develop the social skills necessary for their development. The main purpose of conducting cultural programs is to make students aware of the social system through various cultural programs. In the college, through various cultural programs such as social problems, social awareness competitions, debate competitions, dance competitions, competitions are held to develop the inherent talents of the students. Through this program, the work of creating an accomplished and responsible citizen is done. If the students are inculcated in art during their college education, the latent invention in them gets an opportunity. At the same time, the ability to enjoy and appreciate visual arts like music, dance, drama, painting, rangoli and many other competitions increases as a result, the students also become cultured.
The importance of cultural art has been there since ancient times. Through cultural programs, human beings get a kind of entertainment. If we think about other human beings, in those days too, after wandering for livelihood for the whole day, in the evening, to refresh the tired life again, people used to entertain themselves through arts like stories, Nakala, dance-songs, mockery-jokes, etc. Even today, art is very important. While studying in college, students are introduced to various arts and competitions through this cultural program. Therefore, cultural festival is very important in all colleges.
