A key moment during the event was the ceremonial handover of responsibilities from the outgoing PSA Executives to the newly elected team. The inaugural session also included the Presidential Address delivered by both the former and incumbent PSA Presidents, followed by the presentation of honorary certificates to students for outstanding contributions and participation.
Another feature of the first session was the Mobile Cinema Exhibition, a creative platform that allowed students to present critical narratives through short films. The exhibition was judged by Dr Noarem Nishikanta Singh and D. Kayideluo Pfoze (Dept of JMC).
The second session saw class-wise competitions, including Quartet, Shayari (Poem Slam), Comedy Mimicry, and Dance, with enthusiastic participation from all classes. Each class brought forward unique interpretations of the theme, showcasing both talent and teamwork.
