About Event

Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM), Bengaluru is all geared up for 'Utopia 2018'- The International Cultural Fest to be held on the 31st of July 2018 (Tuesday). The theme that underlies Utopia 2018 is 'Eclectica' which translates to 'Diversified Unity'. With the rhythm of many nations resonating across the campus, SIBM Bengaluru will be the instrument that unifies and celebrates the cultural diversity from across the globe.

Organised by the International Relations Committee of SIBM B, the event aims to bring together students from different nationalities onto one platform. Since its inception, Utopia has always acted as a medium to facilitate and strengthen the bond between the Indian and the foreign students, encouraging mutual learning and inspiration. There will also be a blood donation camp on the same day, and this year, the aim is to break the previous record of collecting 226 units of blood.

"Unity in diversity is the beauty and test of civilization." - Mahatma Gandhi

The founder of Symbiosis International University, Padma Bhushan Dr. S.B. Mujumdar, who came up with the idea of a ‘Home away from Home’ for International students, is an earnest believer of this very thought. Every year Utopia coincides with his birthday and allows the students across the world relive his dream of an inclusive world. This year’s theme ‘Eclectica’ will chisel a foundation of unity from the bricks of diverse elements.

Utopia in the past has seen:
1. Participation from over 598 International Students
2. Students from around 23 countries
