About VISTA:

A college is not all by itself; it stands on three crucial pillars, namely ACADEMICS, SPORTS, and Cultural activities. VISTA is BIT Durg’s premier cultural club. It has earned remarkable recognition from the college in very short span. The VISTA club organizes various cultural events for the students from all batches and branches together.

The club channels the immense creativity of students in our college and keeps them mentally stimulated while enjoying a well-deserved breathing space in between versatile technical sessions in the curriculum. It gives very good refreshing fragrances to both participants and volunteers that will certainly enhance confidence, personality, teamwork, and learning by experience. This will cater to the long-run personality development, essentially needed for an academic institution. Be it intra or inter-college competitions, VISTA has put talent on the map. VISTA identifies the immeasurable hidden talent that remains unacknowledged within the college by rectifying the indignity of the talented. In finding those hidden artists and giving them the requisite limelight, VISTA Club aims,

With these aims, the VISTA club organizes various dimensions of cultural activities systematically. It has five wings under its flag namely, elocution, dramatics, dance, music, and fine arts.

These wings conduct regular activities like debates, speeches, quizzes, essay writing, etc. deliberately hence engaging students to make full use of their idle time. Apart from these, participants are also trained in the medium of workshops and guidance from experts.
