Draft:CHIASMA (Festival)

• Comment: The updates made actually added to the promotionalism of the draft. Here's some suggestions to help start getting over that objection. First, remove all images that represent WP:GALLERY. Use a single image in context with the prose only if it represents what is being discussed (see WP:IMAGELOCATION). Do not use multiple images. Next, make sure to WP:INCITE content with reliable sources. There are several paragraphs that are not supported by WP:RSes. Start by adding reliable sources or simply remove the content altogether.

• Comment: This will need a COMPLETE re-write in neutral tone to stand any chance of acceptance, it is still just advertising. Theroadislong (talk) 21:17, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: just blatant advertising " the premier cultural and signature festival" etc.... Theroadislong (talk) 21:02, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Chiasma, alternatively stylized as CHIASMA, serves as the yearly socio-cultural festival orchestrated by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar. Commencing in 2016 through the efforts of a student-led initiative, the event consistently takes place in the latter part of February or the early days of March annually. Its significance has steadily increased, establishing itself as a notable festival organized by a medical student group in the eastern region of India over the years.

History

Chiasma stands as an annual cultural and sports gathering arranged by students from AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Its inception dates back to 2016, guided by the then-Director Prof. Dr. AK Mahapatra. Initially conceived as an inter-college cultural, sports, literary, and fashion extravaganza, Chiasma primarily engaged participants from AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Notably, AIIMS Bhubaneswar was the first among the AIIMS Institutions, established in 2012, to initiate such a cultural festival.

Throughout its development, Chiasma has transformed into a noteworthy medical college festival in East India. The milestone of Chiasma 2.0 in 2018 marked the inaugural involvement of students beyond AIIMS Bhubaneswar, with the event themed "Game of Thrones."" Eminent personalities like Armaan Malik, Azeem Banatwalla, and Simran Ahuja graced the event.

Subsequent editions, including Chiasma 3.0, continued this trend, offering a diverse array of events and attracting renowned artists. However, Chiasma 4.0 further expanded its offerings by introducing academic events, such as Mediquiz and Speed Dating.

Chiasma experienced a hiatus amid the COVID-19 pandemic, during which an intra-college fest named Evince temporarily took its place. After a hiatus lasting more than two years, Chiasma 5.0 was conducted from March 9th to 14th, 2023, under the guidance of the current Director, Prof. Dr. Ashutosh Biswas. The festival continued its established tradition by attracting over 2,000 participants and spectators from colleges across India. Renowned performers such as Sunidhi Chauhan and Aakash Gupta graced the event, and new additions included e-football and Call of Duty competitions. Chiasma 5.0 also showcased the indigenous talent of Odisha, featuring performances like Gotipua and Sambalpuri dance, along with demonstrations of Khordha martial arts.
