The annual fest of IIM Rohtak, Infusion’17, saw students from all over the country give tough competition to one another in a plethora of events. The two-day event came to an end on Sunday, January 22, 2017, with a rapturous performance by the band “Delhi Indie Project”.
In line with the theme of the event, ‘Beyond Conventions’, this year, the young managers delved into politics in addition to the usual cultural and sports events. As such, the debutant, ‘Yuva Parliament’ saw a huge participation of students from as far as Chennai, Hyderabad and AMU, among other places. The young parliamentarians vehemently opposed the demonetization move of the Government, irrespective of their political affiliations.
