The Indian Cultural Society organized various activities for its members and non-members. These include cultural, literary workshops and activities including VIA projects. Our highlight of the year was the revived Sangamam 2.0 Cultural Show cum Inter Sec School Competition Finals where ten schools took part in the Tamil RAP Singing, Fusion Dance and Thirukural Couplet Recitation (for non-Indian students) Competitions. RGS emerged as the overall champion. Proceeds from the ticket sales were donated to NKF. ICSians showcased their innate creative talents by dancing, acting and singing in the Show. The event was featured extensively on Taalam - Indian Beat over Vasantham TV and local Tamil Daily - Tamil Murasu. The other significant highlights of ICS was the Pongal Celebrations cum Exhibition where Rafflesians witnessed live demonstrations of the Pongal (sweet rice) cooking and tasting including colouring of the Kulfi pots. Prizes were awarded to the participants for the most colourful pots. Members did proud by emerging third in the National JC Tamil Debate- Sorsilambam'23. Our members, initiated a VIA activity with Whitley Sec School to engage the NA/NT TL students in Tamil Touch Typing and Short Story Appreciation.
