Sameeksha 2006-07

Sameeksha is the annual academic fest of the SWSF. Sameeksha is a platform for field realities, contemporary issues and emerging social paradigms. It is a unique event that unfolds the opportunities of facilitating exchange of expressions, views, thoughts and ideas, in all their specificity and abstraction.

At Sameeksha, students, field practitioners, academicians and other like-minded people come together to explore various themes. In the past, Sameeksha has dealt with themes like the Green v/s Brown agenda, Polemics of Funding, Dynamics of Social Movements, Margins, Voices and Silences, etc. The theme for this year's Sameeksha is 'Existence & Resistance: Exploring Alternatives'.
