The society has a judicious mix of creative, imaginative, expressive and enthusiastic members from all the streams with a majority from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year. A majority of students have experience of theater. With an enthusiastic lot of actors, writers and directors injecting a renewed sense of vigor into the society, its efforts and their rewards have only magnified. Yakshagna aims at allowing budding managers an opportunity to recognize their talents in the field of theatre, while also providing a platform to them to hone these into alternate careers. The society tries to instill in its members not only the art of acting but also confidence, communication skills, effective speaking through voice modulation, expressiveness and the ability to function as a team – all vital characteristics of a good manager. We perform at several venues all over the Delhi, thus giving its members the true feeling of being part of a performance in their own capacities as well as, being part of a close knit team.
