DSBA held its first Inter-Collegiate Fest Astra 2016’ on 31st March and 1st April’16 in the campus during the college hours.

The student coordinators Fayaz [IV Sem BCom], Zakeer, Aishwarya, Uday, Afshan Pasha, Nayeem [VI Sem BCom], Prateek, Nityananda, Sphurthi [VI Sem BBM] took up the mantle, left no stones unturned, organised the entire event ‘to the T’ with the help of the other student coordinators. They sought guidance from Prof Nikitha [HOD] and few other faculty members.  

On 31st March the inaugural ceremony was held at 10am in the amphitheatre, DSBA campus in the presence of Dr [Brig] Sandes, Principal DSBA; Dr Veena, Dean DSBA; Prof Nikitha [HOD], faculties of DSBA, students from DSBA college; as well as, the participants from other colleges.
