Accompanying these are the CSR activities including a Lucknow City Run and nukkad-nataks in villages; some of the most fiercely contested cultural events such as “Jashn” - the Fashion Parade and the most challenging live management case studies and simulations. It is the only event of its kind in the country and the most awaited college event on campuses across India.
