When you meet new people, you learn new things. This was reflected by an exemplary event jointly organized by Qutopia, the quizzing society, and KIIT Animal & Environmental Welfare Society of KIIT Students Activity Centre (KSAC) to observe the World Vegan Day 2020. The event aimed to raise awareness about veganism as well as to promote the quizzing culture.
In the two-day affair, more than 100 participants competed against each other in the prelims of a Vegan Quiz out of which the top eight made it to the finale. The final round was held on 1st November 2020 with quizzing enthusiasts as spectators. It ended with a tie between Arpan Bhattacharjee and Prantik Dhanuka.
On top of that a joy to behold was a webinar by Mr. V. Aravindran, a Vegan Entrepreneur, who not only explained why veganism is the need of the hour, but also provided a different perspective to the idea. The webinar concluded with the Guest Speaker’s Q&A session. Dr. Shyam Sundar Behura, Dy. Director, Student Services, KIIT thanked the guest for his deliberations as well as the organizers for observing World Vegan Day in a productive way.
