Organised by the Departments of Humanities and Psychology under Dr. Vinay Mishra and Dr. Ranjit Kaur, respectively, the programme began with a Royal Tonga Procession, followed by a welcome address by BSSS Principal Dr. Fr. John P. J. He highlighted the importance of the five elements in sustaining life and maintaining ecological balance.

Students presented performances including Panch Tatva and The Last Tree, conveying messages about environmental conservation and the consequences of ecological degradation. Indo-Western and tribal dances added cultural colour to the celebration.

Nature-themed fashion walk: A major attraction was the nature-themed fashion walk, in which students showcased creative interpretations of natural elements. The titles of Mr. Nisarg and Ms. Nisarg, along with runner-up positions, were announced during the event. Dr. Lila Simon, Academic In-charge, and Dr. Vandana Yadav, Head of the Science Department, judged the competition.
