UPES has entered into collaboration with the annual heritage and folk festival Virasat organised by Rural Entrepreneurship for Art & Cultural Heritage (REACH ) to promote the rich tapestry of Indian art, culture and heritage. Announcing this on Friday, a senior UPES functionary said that the entire community of over 16,000 students, faculty and staff at UPES would be engaged in cultural preservation and propagation among youth in the higher education ecosystem. The university’s facilities, including its state-of-the-art amphitheatres and Multi Activity Centre (MAC), will be available round the year for hosting events focused on art, craft, culture and environment.
Commenting on the partnership, the vice- chancellor of UPES Ram Sharma said that this collaboration would help them engage with and contribute to the cultural landscape of the country.
The ex-ED (HR) ONGC and founder, REACH Virāsat R K Singh said that the coming together of UPES and REACH is a confluence of artistic and aesthetic sensibilities which would enrich the cultural landscape.
Virasat is a 15-day festival which will be held from October 15 to October 29 this year.
