Welcome to Malhar 2012

34 years ago, a group of teenagers came together hoping to start something new. An informal set of events was planned and approximately 100 visitors were a part of this small-scale initiative. Therein lay the inception of one of the biggest college festivals in the country- Malhar. Malhar is the inter-collegiate festival of St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Mumbai. Considered to be one of Asia's oldest and largest festivals with a footfall of over 30,000 people. There are over 150 colleges participating in the events from all over the country. Apart from dance, dramatics, singing, literature and art based events, Malhar also has The Conclave – a platform for the development of thought, the encouragement of relevant critique and the formulation of informed opinion. Past speakers and panelists at The Conclave include A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Gregory David Roberts, Binayak Sen, Meera Sanyal, Anupam Kher and so on.
