What is it that lends meaning to life? Is it our routine? The sequence of events that we perform day in and day out maybe to conform to society, to fall in line, labouring our minds and body in a relentless pursuit of normalcy. Is that what describes us? Or is it the sparks of creativity and unbridled passion that is harboured deep within us which enables us to produce works of art and things of beauty that define us? We at IIM Trichy believe it is the latter. True to the spirit of IIM Trichy culture ‘Work hard, Party harder’, the Cultural Committee of IIM Trichy nurtures this aspect.
The purpose of any cultural committee is to stroke the sparks of creativity and unbridled passion that is harboured deep within us that enable us to, at times, produce works of art and things of beauty that define us and inflame them, give life to them. CulComm at IIM Trichy believes in going to great lengths to nourish the flame of creative talent lying dormant within each of us, to protect it and recognise it. We are the intrepid dreamers, the ones who strive to bring you fun and frolic, the je ne sais quoi. Our strategy is to thwart the tedium of quotidian deadlines; to taunt it, to fight it with our art, our culture, our music and our curiosity, our joy, our relentlessness, our ability to keep the inner child alive.

Cultural Committee makes a lot of memorable occasions throughout the academic year. Festivals to the annual cultural festival of IIM Trichy, Rhythm, were conducted with great diligence and satisfaction. The committee is very proud to have involved the entire IIM Trichy family in all of the occasions without fail. We strive to make memories and spread happiness so that someday you can look back and say, ‘Those were the days.’
In the vastly pluralistic culture that constitutes India, we, at IIM Trichy, believe in promoting a sense of cultural syncretism and inclusiveness among the emerging leaders. Throughout the year, the Cultural Committee organises a number of events related to festivals such as Holi, Dusshera, Onam, Ganesh Chathurthi, Eid, Diwali, Janmashtami to name a few. Apart from these, there is the intra-college cultural fest, Sanskriti, in which the students test their mettle against each other, uniting under the Sections they belong to, true to the eponymous tagline ‘War of Sections’.
We are also at the helm of our flagship inter-college cultural event Rhythm. Rhythm is the Pan-India annual cultural festival of IIM Trichy providing youth with a great platform to showcase their hidden talents in the field of Music, Dance and Drama. The recently concluded fourth edition Rhythm was a runaway success, attracting participants from all major business and engineering colleges in the region.
