Chennai, Oct. 2022

In the middle of Golden beautiful Autumn in Russia, Volgograd State Medical University Celebrated the most coveted festival of India called Diwali recently. 

Diwali is a festival of Lights. It symbolizes the victory of Light over darkness, victory of good over bad. It unites people and spreads positivity everywhere. As we say, where there is light; there is no evil. 

The official celebration of Diwali fest began with the Speech of Vice Chancellor working with foreign students and international relations, Honorable Natalia Alexandrovna Alshuk, who had draped the six yards of sheer elegance, a traditional women’s clothing called Saree. On this occasion, Dr. Vani Akbar who had graduated from Volgograd State Medical University also sent Diwali greetings for Indian students. 

A cultural festive concert was held during the event with the guests from Volgograd Technical University, Volgograd Conservatory and Valzhanochka folk dance ensemble. Since Diwali is a global festival, apart from Indian, there were great performances of other cultures as well.

There was a demonstration of national costumes of different regions of India. The cultural program was nothing but a wonderful treat to ears and eyes. The event got over by felicitating the guests with gifts and distributing sweets to all the performers and volunteers of the Diwali fest.

For making this grand event successful, honorable Vice Chancellor, Dean for foreign students, Dean’s office and Russian language department of the Volgograd State Medical University, had taken initiative and helped students in every possible way.

Curators of the VSMU, Volunteers of the event and Volunteers of the student’s council and activists of the international Project ‘Medintergral’ have done a great job and made this event a ‘grand success’!

Diwali Concert got over but our hearts will be filled with those happy and positive memories forever.
