About Prakash:
One of our flagship events is "Prakarsh - Techfest and Talkfest," a prestigious national-level symposium organized under the aegis of the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE). Prakarsh serves as a dynamic platform that brings together students from diverse regions and engineering disciplines, providing them with an opportunity to ignite their minds and showcase their skills and talents. This event fosters interaction, healthy competition, and the exchange of ideas among students. At SVIT, we try to provide opportunity to the students for developing skills like, technical, managerial, entrepreneurship, sports and many other co-curricular and extracurricular activities. At our Institute, we conduct number of events to serve the purpose. These include mock interviews, aptitude tests, technical quiz, elocution competitions, poster presentations, making working and demonstration models, implementation of innovative ideas and much more. We organize a two day event called Prakarsh - Techfest and Talkfest, a national level Symposium. Prakarsh bring together students from various region, from various engineering aspects and give them a chance to ignite their minds and, showcase their skills and talents. Prakarsh provides a platform to the students to interact and compete with each other. Variety of technical events and workshops are organized during Prakarsh. There are non- technical events too to incorporate fun activities alongside the technical fervor followed by Pro-nights. In addition, few activities are organized to create awareness about social issues. For example, our volunteers spent a couple of days with the underprivileged children of Balgokulam Karelibaug, Vadodara and visited Lions School for differently abled Girls located in Manjalpur, Vadodara (Gujarat) to get some inspiration and motivation from their lives in past. The Institute is organizing a two-day technical festival since last 15 years. In this Tech-Fest, about 3500 students from about 80 engineering colleges from entire Gujarat participated in various technical and other events to show case their talents. The goal of the Prakarsh is to give opportunity to engineering students of various colleges from Gujarat to participate in about 50 technical-competitive events like robotics, glider making, engine assembling, make a Remote to Control Appliances, 3D Animation, workshops etc.
Series of PRAKARSH 2006 to PRAKARSH 2023 was a great success and have set the benchmarks. Prakarsh intends to surpass those every year in developing the potential of budding techno-managers. PRAKARSH events are developed keeping in mind the basics of engineering and their applications. PRAKARSH provides the tribute to the pioneers in field of science & technology who braved all odds and dived headfirst into the stream of uncertainty and have stood by their idiosyncrasies.
We aim that this event will provide the students with inspiration, confidence and will enable the students to master the art of tackling and overcoming the technical challenges. The goal of this event is to empower engineering students of various colleges from Gujarat in a series of technical-competitive events.

"Tell me, and I forget, teach me, and I may remember, involve me and I learn." Benjamin Franklin.
These golden words can be aptly related to a student's journey starting their admission in college and emerging as a high-spirited leader. Across the stretch of the country the culture of celebrating college festivals is widespread. The vibrant college life is incomplete without a fest and constitutes a major part of the life of students. It etches a mark on the academic calendar and students look forward to the dates. Fests provide a platform for students to showcase one's unique talent and are important in the holistic development of the personality of the students, providing a break from the monotonous routine of evaluation and academics. They are the most effective way of bringing the youth together on the same platform, boosting social interaction and exchanging many ideas and concepts.
Holistic development being the main aim of SVIT, we celebrate festivals with great pomp and show. Malhar(Annual function), Prakarsh(National level college fest), Vision(Inter department techfest), Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri are some of the celebrations that are held at SVIT.
