IIM Udaipur community, with support from local volunteers, students and staff of schools and NGOs in the city organized the Udaipur Carnival, with its theme of ‘Clean Udaipur, Green Udaipur’ on October 28th.

Fun activities, cultural performances and counters for food and traditional Rajasthani crafts attracted an enormous crowd for the event that kicked off with the Cleanliness Drive. Inaugurated by Shri. K. K. Gupta, the Mayor of Dungarpur and the Brand Ambassador of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Rajasthan, nearly 200 volunteers comprising of students and local citizens executed the drive from Sukhadia Circle. Catching the attention of the participants over the 1.5 km stretch till Fateh Sagar Pal was an exhibition of colourful, captivating posters on the theme contributed by school students, whose creative entries in the ‘Make the Best Out of Waste’ competition were lauded by all.

The cultural programme conducted at Fateh Sagar Pal showcased vibrant performances by Octaves- the music club of IIM Udaipur, and FootworX- the dance club. The proceedings concluded with a thought-provoking street play organised by Live Puppets, raising concerns over the passivity of Indians towards cleanliness in the society.
