At the heart of Idyllic Institute of Management lies a steadfast commitment to sustainability, vividly brought to life during Saksham 2, the institute’s flagship Green Fest, which returned in its second edition with unparalleled vibrance, collaboration, and purpose. Far more than a mere celebration, Saksham 2 was a dynamic movement that galvanized students, faculty, alumni, and special guests to embrace conscious, sustainable, and joyful living. With the spirited involvement of all 13 student clubs, the campus transformed into a bustling green carnival, uniting creativity, community, and environmental stewardship under a shared eco-friendly vision. Designed to foster a deeper connection with nature and a heightened sense of ecological responsibility, the fest featured an array of innovative stalls, interactive games, and educational installations that captivated attendees and sparked meaningful conversations about sustainability.

The Eco-Conscious Culinary Carnival stood out as a highlight, turning food into a powerful medium for environmental advocacy. Each club curated its own sustainable stall, offering delicious, planet-friendly dishes that showcased the harmony between culinary delight and ecological responsibility. The Culinary Club championed farm-to-table principles with vibrant salads, organic juices, and seasonal snacks crafted from locally sourced produce, while the Health & Wellness Club delighted attendees with plant-based vegan wraps, quinoa bowls, and nutrient-packed smoothies. The Green Entrepreneurship Club celebrated low-carbon-footprint ingredients with coconut-based sweets and tropical beverages, and the Baking Club impressed with zero-waste cakes and cookies, served without plastic packaging. The Culture Club paid homage to eco-wisdom by reviving heritage flavors through ancient grains and regional recipes. Every stall adhered to zero-waste practices, utilizing biodegradable serving ware, minimizing plastic, and incorporating compostable waste bins, proving that festive indulgence and sustainability can coexist seamlessly.

Beyond its culinary offerings, Saksham 2 transformed the campus into a playground of sustainability-themed games and challenges, masterfully orchestrated by the Sports Club with support from other student groups. These activities blended fun with education, engaging participants in creative ways that instilled green habits. Attendees tested their skills in Plastic Bottle Bowling, Cardboard Archery, and Paper-Plate Frisbee Competitions, while Upcycling Crafts and DIY Workshops encouraged hands-on creativity. Eco-quiz contests, photo scavenger hunts, and green challenges fostered team bonding, critical thinking, and a sustainable mindset, ensuring that every moment of play doubled as a learning opportunity. These interactive elements not only entertained but also inspired participants to rethink their daily habits and embrace environmentally conscious choices with enthusiasm.

At its core, Saksham 2 was anchored by ambitious sustainability goals that permeated every facet of the event. A zero-waste execution framework guided all clubs to minimize single-use plastics, reuse materials, and maintain a pristine event environment. Educational booths dotted the campus, offering insights into composting, recycling, energy conservation, and green entrepreneurship, empowering attendees with practical knowledge. The “Green Pledge Wall” invited participants to commit to impactful lifestyle changes, reinforcing personal accountability. The event’s impact extended far beyond its duration, with immense participation from the entire campus community fostering a sense of unity and collective action. Winners of contests like the Eco-Quiz, Sustainable Food Contest, and Recycled Craft Challenge were celebrated with green hampers, plantable goodies, and eco-certificates, further incentivizing sustainable behavior.

Saksham 2’s success lay in its ability to weave together fun, learning, and purpose, creating a transformative experience that resonated deeply with all who attended. The collaboration of 13 student clubs exemplified inter-club synergy, setting a precedent for collective environmental action. More than just a festival, Saksham 2 sparked reflection, dialogue, and tangible lifestyle shifts that rippled beyond the event itself. As Idyllic Institute of Management looks to the future, Saksham 2 stands as a testament to its vision of nurturing innovative, skilled, and socially responsible leaders who are acutely aware of their ecological footprint. With its vibrant blend of food, games, education, and community spirit, Saksham continues to evolve—not merely as a fest, but as a powerful mission to cultivate a more conscious, compassionate, and sustainable tomorrow.
