However, the most awaited cultural function started in the evening. At that time the anchors were the students of first year. Songs, dance routines as well as short plays were performed by the students from school section. The students exhibited a magazine programme titled “Itiadi”. Indeed, Itiadi was a replica of legendary magazine programme Ittadi which put forth a few of IPSC's problems through wit and sarcasm. Nawshad Asraf played the part of Hanif Sanket. It began with the song of “Nikosh kalo Adhare” by Krishanu. Then followed an entertaining talk-show with questions asked to the spectators. In addition, they made a combination of ethnic dance and pop dance which was loudly applauded by guests as well as students. Last but not the least, Itiadi presented an interview from a mad leader and concluded through the performance of a wild dance. “This is not only a cultural function but also a venue for meeting our college friends” said one of the former students of IPSC.

In conclusion, the cultural function was truly brilliant and was enjoyed greatly by all the students and teachers of IPSC.
