Clubs & Forums – Kumaraguru College of Technology

The art forms such as drama, music, dance etc are given a salient space, with clubs of their own – Varnam Club, Haasya, Dance club, Music club, and Drama Troupe. These clubs create opportunities for the admirers of dance, music, acting, mime, drawing, painting, embroidery, ornament crafting etc., to unveil their skills and the creator in them. The activities, workshops and initiatives that happen in the club are woven to develop the creator’s creativity, aesthetic sense and the intellectual content, further. The beauty of identifying, developing and sharpening such skills is that, it doesn’t stop with fine arts, music and dance alone. They disseminate into other areas of their life, thereby making them significantly conspicuous.
