Each college, each department, and each society need a dedicated team to function properly and meet the expectations. Similarly, we have a union and extended committee in AFFINE - THE MATHEMATICS ASSOCIATION for which elections are being held and fought every year with great enthusiasm. Having five main posts, namely, President, Vice President, General Secretary, Treasurer and Joint Secretary, followed by extended committee posts.
Election time is always one of those exciting times when students experience some thrill and some entertainment in their college life. The contestants do tons of campaigns to convince us all without back mouthing about others. The moments are always memorable, filled with joy and excitement all throughout. Even due to pandemic, the department faced some issues with elections, being it online, the interest of the students didn't fall off, they passionately participated and stood for the elections gathering the votes through google forms, fighting against the odds and made those years a success too.
From organizing various quizzes, seminars, webinars, talks, discussions to a successful fest, it's the elected committee meeting students' desires and great results are achieved with their hard work.
The day of anxiety, cheerfulness, and a memorable day with an opportunity for newbies to interact with batchmates and seniors. Blast of loud music, happy faces and enjoying seniors' hints that something colossal is going to happen. This becomes the first and one of the exciting days with the beginning of each year.
Unquestionable desires accelerating the excitement, the forever urge to attend the college freshers’ and the extended pulse to connect with distinct personalities is enough to energize and charm the event. Thereby, blending all the ideas and synthesizing the energies, Affine - The Mathematics Association comes up with its most celebrated event – Freshers’23 with the theme “Relation and Integration of 1990’s and 2023” to initiate the thrill and excitement with inviting the newbies to step-up from their comfort zone and evolve through Affine. It all started with welcoming of our faculty members and certainly the “to be mathematicians” ready to stimulate the grace and vibe of the event. The all-time ritual “Ramp walk” was then drafted invoking the first yearies to introduce themselves and involve throughout. While collaborating we somewhere started to celebrate the diversity acknowledging the creativity and flaws. Morever, lined up with some heart-warming performances by the juniors delighted the aura.
