DEAN’S ADDRESS
THOMSO,a much celebrated package of art,culture,expression with an overflow of excitementand energy ,highlights IIT’s cultural
depth,ignite pride in the heritage/legacy, and nurture the defining climate for cultural rejuvenation among students who are in
their formative years of creativity.Interestingly,It has continued to evolve and get enriched since its inception in 1982 from
strength to strength in terms of quality as well by adding innovative and diverse events and broadening its reach.
The enthusiastic support of the sponsors,student volunteers and performes who had been putting in countless hours of hard
work and supportive service, in organising this important grand event every year , have always been much commendable and
hopefully it would be much more noteworthy this time.
I wish THOMSO , a worthy succesor TARANG as it was prior to 1982,to become a significant cultural movement of IITR students
by further deepening its reach within and outside the breadth and length of India.
We all look forward to this exhilerating multifarious event of the year. Let us ecplore the youthful spirit to THOMSO further.

CONVENER’S ADDRESS
It gives me an immense pleasure to introduce you to Thomso’17 our annual youth festival, on behalf of our prestigious
institution, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. It is one of the largest cultural festival of India, celebrating
art, culture and expression with an overflow of youthful excitement and energy. Recognizing this event of gargantuan
proportions, the Government of Uttarakhand proclaimed Thomso as the “Annual Youth Festival of Uttarakhand”.
Thomso, at its core, embodies the spirit of liberation, innovation and ingenuity. We, the students of IIT Roorkee, strive to
attain perfection by making Thomso a brilliant masterpiece of grandeur and eminence. Through Thomso’16, we also aim
at creating an impact for the betterment of the economically and socially backward classes of both the urban and rural
population. The fest plays host to the most strikingly talented scholars and media moguls from all over the country, and
celebrates the divine congregation of culture and intellect. With a behemoth footfall of more than 30,000 students,
comprising several IIT’s and NIT’s, Thomso has become the abode of this ambrosial combination. Looking forward
to seeing you at Roorkee during Thomso’17.
THEME
“A Magical Fantasia”
Fantasy is one of the things that makes us human, exercising our sense of wonder in magic and monsters. In drag-
ons and dungeons. In spirits and saints. In wizards and wargs. To have a sense of belief, that even a lowly Hobbit
can change the course of the world by destroying the Ring. Where even an orphan with a weird mark on his head,
has the power to conquer evil.
Fantasy makes us experience the world from a different perspective, opening the dimensions to a new world far
magical than ours, and far more hypnotic. It is this magic that we aim to recreate, to escape the humdrum of daily
life to a joyous world of fantasy, in the shangri-la beneath the himalayas.
Welcome to Thomso’17.
