It was a melange of art forms as school and college students showcased their abilities in rendering Carnatic and folk songs, performing classical dance
at ‘Yuvajanotsavalu – 2017’at Y.V.S. Murty auditorium on Friday.
The youth festival, inaugurated by Joint Collector G. Srijana, saw some 120 contestants taking turns in presenting their talent in dance, music and drama on the stage.
They have been shortlisted from the recently concluded divisional-level Yuvajanotsavalu.
E. Varsha Aparna, Intermediate first year student of Sri Chaitanya Junior College, Anakapalle, said she was glad to grab the top spot in the earlier contest (solo classical dance category) and get selected for the next level.
“Though I am not trained in any classical dance, practising Odissi folk dance form by watching videos helped me win the hearts of viewers at the divisional-level competition. Events like these will certainly inspire to sharpen our artistic expertise and reach a wider audience with confidence,” said Vaishali Dutt, B.Com second year student of Gayatri Vidya Parishad College for Degree and PG Courses.
CEO of SETVIS A. Siri said the divisional youth festival was held at Anakapalle, Paderu, Narsipatnam and Visakhapatnam.
