Ye Unn Dino Ki Baat Hai - A Pre-event of Spandan 2022

Ye Unn Dino Ki Baat Hai was a pre-event held before Spandan 2022. It was a game carnival that teleported everyone to the good old days. The event’s objective was to introduce some classic Indian games to the video game generation and foster a sense of community and camaraderie.

On November 29, 2022, a pre-Spandan event, "Yeh Unn Dino Ki Baat Hai", was organised by a group of students of the fifth semester, BA (JMC), VIPS - TC, GGSIP University, Delhi. The event was held within the premises of the college and began around noon as per the schedule.

The pre-event was organised keeping in mind the ‘Back to the Roots’ theme of Spandan’22. The pre-event organised at the VIPS main ground and lawns nostalgically kick-started Spandan'22. The pre-event consisted of the 'OG' games as the organisers described them, OG being 'Original/Old Games'. It included games like Hopscotch (Stapu), Pitthu, Tic-Tac-Toe, Marbles, Musical Chairs and Tug of war.

All the games had individual counters for on-the-spot registrations. Each counter had core team coordinators, as well as volunteers, to make sure everything proceeded smoothly.

The pre-event was a ticketed event, but non-exclusive. Anyone present on campus could linger around. The organisers also made sure to have old songs playing in the background to give the event a more nostalgic feel and to maintain the ambience. A dedicated production team of photographers and videographers was present to cover the whole event. The pre-event even had a dedicated photo booth.

All the games proceeded simultaneously. Over 2000 people, including teachers and management of the college, attended the event. Students from across the departments took part in the event. Despite the considerable footfall, the pre-event proceeded smoothly, and no rush or ruckus was experienced throughout the event.

It was important for the students to deliver a successful event as this was the first time Spandan was being held offline post-Covid. The stakes were higher as this was the first event in the line-up of events of Spandan’22. The pre-event was promoted enough through social media and posters pasted across the campus. Google forms were circulated in the official groups and to individuals to make sure people registered before the event. Enough buzz was created around the event to make sure more & more people attended the event. The organisers made sure they delivered on the created hype and buzz around the event.

The organisers received positive feedback after the event concluded. Attendees of the event could be seen as nostalgic and elated. The organisers received positive feedback not only from the students but from the teacher coordinator Dr Baninder Rahi and other members of the management as well.

The event concluded with a competitive but fun musical chairs game for all the teachers of the VSJMC department.

As per the feedback and ticket sales collection, it can be said that Ye Unn Dino Ki Baat Hai was a successful event. It successfully generated the hype for the main Spandan to be held on the 14th and 15th of December 2022.
