CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Each year, the birth anniversary of Dr. O.P. Bhalla, the visionary Founder of Manav Rachna Educational Institutions (MREI), transforms into a deeply symbolic and spirited occasion. It is more than a tribute—it is a reaffirmation of the ideals that continue to shape minds, stir innovation, and spark positive societal change. April at Manav Rachna isn’t just the start of a new academic season; it marks a renewed commitment to purpose. The campus pulses with energy—Founder’s Day becomes a focal point around which a multitude of activities unfold, from landmark events to new beginnings. It’s also the month that heralds the main edition of the Manav Rachna National Aptitude Test, the gateway for aspiring students to join this vibrant academic community.
At the heart of this celebration was INNOSKILL 2025, Manav Rachna’s annual technical fest, held in revered memory of the Founder. This two-day extravaganza brought together over 3,000 participants, including high school students, in a spirited celebration of ideas, intellect, and imagination.
Themed around Sustainability, the event invited young minds to ideate, innovate, and engineer solutions aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With 45 events across eight dynamic verticals—ranging from Engineering Drift and Culinary Challenges to Legal Reasoning and Green Business Pitches—Innoskill proved to be a powerful platform for real-world learning.
A standout was the cybercrime awareness workshop-cum-competition conducted by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs, which brilliantly bridged social relevance with technological innovation. Industry support from BIRAC, Birla Opus Paints, Nexus Power Systems, and others further amplified the impact, showcasing Manav Rachna’s deep-rooted industry-academia linkages.
Justice R.C. Lahoti Memorial Moot: A Legacy in Legal Learning
Legal minds took centre stage at the 2nd Justice R.C. Lahoti Memorial Moot Court Competition, hosted by Manav Rachna University (MRU). Drawing participation from 24 premier law schools, the competition delved into contemporary legal challenges—deepfakes, AI ethics, and intellectual property law.
Judged by eminent justices including Justice Gita Mittal, Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal, and Justice Anjana Mishra, the moot proved intellectually rigorous and profoundly relevant. The final round saw Bennett University emerge victorious over Asian Law College, clinching the trophy, a ₹51,000 cash prize, and a prestigious SCC Online subscription.
