Le'Gala Inter-collegiate Festival |
||||||||||||||
LST is proud to announce the start of Le'Gala, NLSIU's Inter collegiate Festival. Le'Gala begins on November 19, 2004 and will carry on till November 21. Learn more about the events that make up Le'Gala and how it has become one of the biggest and best organised college fests in the country. NLSIU's inter-collegiate festival, Le'Gala is acknowledged by participants to be one of the best and largest in the country. In a short span of 7 years Le'Gala has eclipsed many of India's best known festivals which have almost a half-century of experience, in terms of absolute quality and sheer magnitude. This year’s Fest scheduled for November 19-21, 2004 boasts a line-up of literary and cultural events unrivalled anywhere for number, variety, standard of participation and quality of organization. Wishing to maintain neutrality and the spirit of competition, the students of NLSIU do not take part in any of the events. The prize money is generous and the competition intense, setting the stage for some of the best quizzes, dramatics, song and dance, word-games jamming and the like. And to add to all this, participants and spectators can take part in a whole host of wild and whacky informal events. The biggest attractions are the fashion extravaganza, RampArt and the rock show, Strawberry Fields, which are now considered separate festivals on their own due to scale of organisation for these two events, although they are held simultaneously along with the main Le'Gala festival and the Nationa Law School Debate.
