KARUNAI NITE 2012

The Meaning of the name

KARUNAI-clemency, grace, favour, compassion, tenderness 

*The translation of the meaning is from Tamil to English.

Theme of the activity

Our Giving Their Future - Indian culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. Our manners, way of communicating with one another, etc are one of the important components of our culture. Even though we have accepted modern means of living, improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person can change his way of clothing, way of eating and living but the rich values in a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted within our hearts, mind, body and soul which we receive from our culture and belief.

Concept

 As in for charity would like to donate a part of the donation money to 4 selected orphanage homes for their expenses and the children education. The orphanage homes will be selected through survey.

Charity-Charitable giving is the act of giving money, goods or time to the unfortunate, either directly or by means of a charitable trust or other worthy cause. Charitable giving as a religious act or duty is referred to as almsgiving or alms. The name stems from the most obvious expression of the virtue of charity is giving the objects of it the means they need to survive.

The poor, particularly widows and orphans, and the sick and disabled, are generally regarded as the proper objects of charity. Some groups regard charity as being properly directed toward other members of their group. Although giving to those nearly connected to oneself is sometimes called charity—as in the saying "Charity begins at home" -- normally charity denotes giving to those not related, with filial piety and like terms for supporting one's family and friends. Indeed, treating those related to the giver as if they were strangers in need of charity has led to the figure of speech "as cold as charity" -- providing for one's relatives as if they were strangers, without affection.

Objectives

• To promote UTAR 10^th Anniversary celebration.
• To introduce the Indian culture to the students.
• To enhance the relationship and strengthen the teamwork ability with UTAR ICLS and public.
• Raise fund for selected unfortunate and unprivileged children.

UTAR ICLS MEGA EVENT 2010-DHIRATHII NAKSHATRA NITE(TALENT STAR NITE)

A day filled with energy and colours!

It may be hard to pronounce Dhirathi Nakshatra but the term certainly fitted with extravagance and flow of the event itself. Dhirathi Nakshtra Nite held in UTAR Perak Campus was a platform for many talents. Categories such as singing, dancing and special talents were portrayed during that night.

UTAR Indian Cultural and Language Society certainly made its presence felt by organizing their first event with such grandeur. Inviting VIPs such as Dr. Sebastien.K. Francis, The Dean of Faculty of Arts was certainly the highlight of the event. Judges ranging from Master Bala, a renowed dance master, Suresh Rogan, a composer and recording artist based in Malaysia, Suresh Kee, Chairmen Of Hindu Sangam, Kampar Selatan, and Arumugam, a well respected socialite from Sungkai.

Their presence added some zest to the event and their invigilating was something to be content with. Having experience in their own fields, we can see their effort to look out for the best talents.

The committee members worked their socks off to make this event happen. Many of them showed their commitment and we could see the outcome of the event itself. The decorations, goody bags and etc was commendable and it was job well done.

Yogish Raao, the organizing chairmen of the event stated that they had sleepless dur to the event but it was all worth it. He commended his members for putting it a lot of effort to make this maiden a debut a benchmark for upcoming events.

The highlight of the show would certainly go to the performers. Electrifying dance performances, melodious singing and swashbuckling acting was certainly the major plusses for the event.

The winners of the event certainly deserved their recognition. Rakkimani, 2191 dance group and Cinema Galatta group were the victors of the event and their received trophies, hampers and cash prize. The judges are also bound to give them chance by mentoring them to bring their talents to another level.

Part of the proceeds of the event would go to charity. UTAR ICLS has adopted an estate school in Kampar and they are going to provide them with basic amenities and necessary foundations to develop the school.

By portraying the beauty of Indian culture and also showing their good nature by contributing to charity, we can see these students having the potential to emulate the older generations. Their efforts were laudable and I’m sure the next event would have a much better fanfare and the response for it would certainly increase.

Dhirathi Nakshatra, an event not to forget!
