This day was marked special for the SSBF family, as it reflected the memories, the experiences and the achievements we had over these beautiful nine years.

The day started with an alluring ‘pookkalam’ competition, where both the batches took part and made the college look like a doorway to heaven. A traditional Ganesh Puja brought in the positive vibes to start the celebrations and the decorations turned the college into a creative haven, with all the adornments. The delicious lunch was savoured by the students and staff, who were dressed in their best-looking traditional attires. The performances, the ‘shero shayari’ and the games were the highlights of the day. And of course, the celebration ended with those perfect selfies!

In the end, foundation day is all about reminiscing the memories, preparing ourselves for the exciting times to come and many more milestones to achieve in the coming years.
