In the photograph, a participant for an event, possibly fancy dress or a skit, is seen dressed as Gandhi and several students are seen in the background holding pieces of paper in their hands, possibly at the Central Lecture Theatre. One student also seems to be holding a prize in his hand.

In the 1980s, apart from events such as Indian Classical Music, Indian Light Music, Western Group and Western Solo music competitions, Quiz, Music Quiz, and Debate, there were also several writing events such as Creative Writing. This event had prose (short story) and poetry for the first stage followed by one’s attempts at a stream of one-liners to cartoons, and doodles.
