BFGI students gave a tough competition to scholars of prestigious B-Schools during the Annual Fest Infusion-2015 held at IIM-Rohtak

Extracurricular activities are gaining importance equivalent to academic activities. For a vast majority of college and university students, these activities play an integral role in the collegiate experience and enhancing the overall personality of students. Due to the diverse interests of college students, the range of extracurricular activity offerings varies extensively. The vision of Baba Farid Group of Institutions (BFGI) is also aligned with the overall development of students; therefore the importance of extracurricular activities cannot be ignored. The students also understand this fact very well that overall development is not possible until and unless they would take proactive actions apart from academics. To be an exemplar in the region,30 students of BFGI from MBA (Baba Farid College of Management & Technology), BBA and B.Com (Baba Farid College) courses actively participated in the fest named Infusion-2015 organized by Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Rohtak. The students participated in 5 events under the categories of Fashion Show, Solo Singing, Group Dance, Solo Dance and Carrom etc. The students gave a stiff competition to the scholars from the prestigious colleges like: IIM Kashipur, IIM Rohtak, IIFT Delhi, BIMTECH etc. The performances especially the singing and the fashion show theme The Journey of Life was really appreciated by the audience and finally Manpreet Singh (MBA 2nd Year) bagged 2nd position in Solo Singing.

Dr. Gurmeet Singh Dhaliwal- Chairman, (BFGI) congratulated the participants and winners for their remarkable efforts. S. Dhaliwal said, "These activities exist to complement the university's academic curriculum and to augment the student's educational experience. Students also develop skills specific to their career path and imperative for future job success. Moreover, participation in extracurricular activities and leadership roles in these activities are positively correlated to attainment of one's first job and to managerial potential. It enables students to interact with a large number of people and to make a bond with such great personalities in other college as well as outside whom you may not have met otherwise. I feel immense pleasure and pride to announce that we didn’t not only participate but also won the second prize in Solo Singing."
