HSNC University to launch Yuvaantar 2026, inaugural inter-collegiate youth festival

HSNC University in Mumbai will launch Yuvaantar 2026, its inaugural inter-collegiate youth festival, on October 2-3, 2026. The three-day event aims to provide a common platform for student singers, dancers, actors, writers, artists and performers from across the university's academic community to perform, create and collaborate.

Established in June 2020 through the merger of H.R. College, K.C College and Bombay Teachers' Training College, HSNC University has expanded significantly. This year, five additional colleges joined—R.D. National College, K.C Law College, Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, K.M. Kundnani College of Pharmacy and MMK College—bringing the total to eight professional schools serving over 14,000 students.

Vice Chancellor Col. Prof. Hemlata K. Bagla said the festival extends education beyond the classroom, enabling students to develop qualities like discipline, courage and collaboration through creative expression.
