Launch of Vidya magazine ‘Sanskara’ shines a spotlight on student creativity and achievements

In a rare occurrence at Vidya Academy of Science and Technology, the College Magazine Release Ceremony was held without the presence of a designated student editor, marking an uncommon moment in the institution’s history. Despite this, eight student editors from various departments collaborated equally, sharing responsibilities and playing pivotal roles in the successful creation of the college magazine under the guidance of the College Magazine Committee, ‘Vidh Vangmay’.
‘Vidh Vangmay’ hosted the College Magazine Release Ceremony on 21 January 2026,marking the unveiling of the college magazine “Sanskara” for the academic year 2024–25.The occasion celebrated not just the release of  Sanskara, but also the shared passion and collaborative spirit of the student editorial team.The event opened with a warm welcome, followed by the magazine unveiling by Dr. Sunitha C (Principal). In a gesture rich with meaning, the magazine was cradled in a fresh plantain leaf adorned with rose petals.As the Principal gently lifted the magazine from the leaf, the moment stood as a powerful symbol of sustainability, tradition and mindful creation.Certificates of appreciation were awarded to the Editorial Board student members and to Adidyan (S8, CSE Dept) for his remarkable contributions beyond his official role.
Sanskara embodies the institution’s steadfast commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and sustainable innovation. Conceptualized as a meaningful initiative by the editorial team, the magazine aligns with a global movement toward conscious action. The moment stood as a proud testament to the power of collaboration and shared vision that defined the making of Sanskara. Their collaboration highlighted the spirit of unity and perseverance that lay at the heart of Sanskara’s creation.
