“The festival of Lohri brings happiness for every class and age group in North India. As we have students from varied cultural background it becomes utmost important to keep them connected to our Punjabi Virsa.” as told by DPS Kharbanda. K S Brar wished that the warmth of bonfire, sweetness of ‘Gur’ and ‘Rewri’ at Lohri remain with the students forever. He further added that prospectus for admissions 2018 at NIIFT, MOHALI will be made available from the month of February and that entrance examination will be held in the month of June 2018.
Lohri is considered as a festival of farmers. Farmers dedicate their crop to God in the form of bonfire and wish for their health, wealth and prosperity. The same environment was palpable at NIIFT. Students tapped their toes on filmy songs like “… Lo Aagai Lohri Ve… Punjabi boliyaan meant for Lohri like “Sunder Mundariye.” and many others. Faculty members also enjoyed and participated with full zeal. Everyone enjoyed the traditional dhol beats and danced on the Punjabi music.
The event ended on a very happy note with NIIFT embarking a great new start of the Hindu New Year.
