The very opportunity to participate at the university level provides each one of the students, a multitude of exposure and experience. The Kala Bhageerathi students perform in multiple art forms and work as a team. The entire experience is enriching and plays a unique role in BNMIT’s efforts to go beyond academics. A very heartening note about Kala Bhageerathi is that most participants are distinction holders proving that extracurricular activities do not come in the way of good academic performance.
