IITR houses a chapter of SPIC MACAY, Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music And Culture Among Youth. SPIC MACAY seeks to conserve and promote an awareness of the rich and heterogeneous cultural tapestry amongst the youth and the country through focus on the classical arts, with their attendant legends, rituals, mythology and philosophy and to facilitate an awareness of their deeper and subtler values. We've had the privilege to experience acts like Nizami Brothers, Pt. Ravi Shankar and Pt. Birju Maharaj in the past. SPIC MACAY also organises a 7-day long cultural fest - Virasat. Through regularly held shows and workshops, SPIC MACAY does a brilliant job at keeping our heritage alive.
