JAIN-UI 2024

Garv - The Pride Event of School of Commerce

"The quickest way to resolve criticism and gender bias is to educate people on the values of understanding and acceptance, teaching love instead of hatred against one another." JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), School of Commerce under its student society, Antaral - Pause and Be the Change, organised Garv - The Pride Event on 27th July 2022. It was conducted to spread awareness about the LGBTQ community diversely. The motive of the event was to promote self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as a social group.

During the event, two games were conducted - twister and tic-tac-toe. In the twister game, two groups competed with each other. The winner group got a prize voucher, and the other group answered the questions related to the LGBTQ community. In the tic-tac-toe, two groups of five players took turns marking the spaces in three-by-three grids. The winning team placed the three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row and got vouchers for The Original Café, the sponsors. The other team read the facts related to the LGBTQ community.

Antaral - Pause & Be the Change, took a small step to bring awareness about equality among all genders. As a forum, we encourage people to come out and be themselves and voice out their choices. Acceptance is a stepping stone to a better future.
