As January would be inching to an end, Kharagpur would witness an extravaganza few would want to miss and none would forget. For IIT Kharagpur would be playing host to the internationally acclaimed metal band Skid Row for their first performance in India. And this is part of their 3 day 4 night long annual clambake Spring Fest, from 21st Jan to 24th Jan.
Started in 1960, Spring Fest is the largest and the oldest running student organized fest in Eastern India. To make this 51st edition the youth hub it promises to be, planning had started way back in June. Says Abhey, a publicity head,” We wanted to outdo the 50th edition, and now we are on the verge of something really special. Our publicity campaign has incorporated a pan India outlook. Response has been exemplary and we are expecting a footfall of around 30,000. The news of Skid Row performing is really getting the colleges going”.
