Welcome to Resurgence, the grand cultural celebration of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, the oldest and largest fest of our campus. From 19 November to 3 December, five competitive houses will go head-to-head in high-voltage events spanning dance, music, theatre, art, literary battles and more. This year’s emblem, the phoenix, stands for revival, reinvention and rising from every challenge. Just like that mythical bird, Resurgence invites everyone to soar above yesterday’s limits, ignite fresh energy and redefine what we can achieve as creators, competitors and community. It’s about finding strength in the face of challenges, celebrating the passion that keeps us moving, and carrying the courage to begin again, burn brighter, and turn every fall into flight. Resurgence isn’t just about winning a title; it’s about the thrill of participation, the friendships forged in chaos, and the stories that outlive the stage lights. So whether you’re stepping onto stage, wielding a paintbrush, dropping lines in a debate or cheering from the sidelines, come join the thrill, throw yourself into the contest, and help make this edition unforgettable.
