Festember

Festember is the Annual International Cultural Festival of National Institute of Technology , Tiruchirappalli . It is held annually in the third week of September when college students from all over India participate in various cultural, literary and artistic events to compete for the "Festember Rolling Trophy". The origin of the word Festember is “A Fest To Remember" though it has often been misconstrued as “A Fest In September”. Organized by the students of National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Festember is one of the most distinguished cultural fests in South India. It enjoys a participant strength of about 11,000 students from over 500 colleges across India with over 50 events offering many cash prizes. Festember Social Responsibility (FSR) is the social responsibility wing of Festember. Initially started as a social initiative by the National Cadet Corps (NCC) of NIT Trichy, FSR has evolved into an organization that gives back to the not-so-fortunate sections of society, who are often forgotten in today’s rapidly paced world. Since its inception in 2012, FSR has embarked upon various endeavors to benefit the masses through many events, known for their creative names. Due to the efforts of a group of hardworking and inspired students, FSR has managed to go beyond the college boundaries to various orphanages, schools, and cities.
