Conventional social norms say perform well in education, get a job, settle down. Safe is easy, and it's something everyone will suggest. Safe is understandable, but sometimes being a misfit, following your passion and doing something risky will have the best payoff. Meet Pune based dance group The Knights Crew, formed by students of B.M.C.C., who have challenged the social stereotypes and stood up for thei­r passion of dancing. With sheer dedication and commitment, they have won almost all the college dance competitions of Pune they have participated in the current academic year.

Pune was always well known for its activities in Marathi Theatre and Hindustani Classical Music. But over last few years, we can see nearly all art forms like dance, painting, fine arts, films and others growing and flourishing in Pune. One of the catalysts, small yet noteworthy, for this change has been a charitable organisation working for the propagation and expansion of performing and fine arts - Destiny Centre for Information, Documentation and Research (DCIDR). Over 60 budding artists have already showcased their talent on the platform of DCIDR and over 200 students from Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi have been benefited from its Workshop series.
