TAGLINE DRAFTING COMPETION FOR THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION

To mark the commemorative event of the Centenary Celebration, the University decided to encourage all the interested existing students on the rolls of the University and its colleges including Non Collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB) and School of Open Learning (SOL) to participate in a competition for conceptualization and creation of a “Centenary Tagline”, which was expected to be an original creation of artistic endeavour of the students befitting to the dignity of this historic occasion.

All the eligible students of the University and its colleges were encouraged to participate in this one of a kind “Centenary Tagline” drafting competition and conceptualize a tagline which is being used for all purposes and occasions in course of the centenary celebration. The University solicited maximum participation from the existing students for this open competition to showcase their creative best for this event.

A total of 315 entries were received through this competition. After establishing the bonafide status of the students, alongwith plagiarism check of the entries received, and multiple rounds of shortlisting, a total of 8 entries were shortlisted, but with various reservations and comments of the jury. The competent authority then decided that none of the shortlisted entries befitted this historic occasion. Hence, as per the guidelines already published, a team of the Centenary Celebration Committee members drafted a few taglines, one among which was chosen by the competent authority, that adorns the Centenary Logo.

This is the story behind the chosen Centenary Logo and its associated Tagline finalisation process.
