Organization
SF is notable for being the largest student event in the country. Due to this, SF is often cited as one of the prime example showcasing the management skills of IITians in general. The fest is also able to attract a reasonable amount of coverage from the electronic and print-media (MTV India and The Telegraph, Kolkata). The core-team is formed around seven to eight months before the event. This team consists of student team heads and members. The team is largely responsible for garnering sponsorship for the event from external agencies, such as companies in India and also conducts publicity of the events throughout colleges in India during the year. During SF, the team performs coordinative tasks to make sure the events run smoothly and the guests and sponsors are catered to.
The individual events are handled by event-specific teams managed by student heads, sub-heads and volunteers. The pre-event tasks, like formulation of events, putting-up of banners, internal publicity, security, student accommodation, transportation, guest reception, and arena design, are distributed among the heads and members of the core organizing team.

—Joan Baez (b. 1941)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
