Alankaar

“Where nocturnal ink turns to alchemy, rhetoric commands the velvet stage, and every voice leaves an immortal mark.”

The Literary Committee • MGM Medical College, Indore

The Soul of MGMMC’s Literary Heritage

About Alankaar — The Literary Committee

Est. MGM Medical College, Indore

In Sanskrit poetics, Alankaar signifies the ornament of thought and expression—the craft that elevates raw language into timeless art. Within the historic stone corridors of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Indore, ALANKAAR stands as the sanctuary where future healers gather as poets, parliamentarians, quizzers, and storytellers.

Beyond stethoscopes and lecture theatres, we believe medicine itself is a deeply human narrative. Every autumn during Nirvana, our committee transforms the Auditorium, LT-3, LT-4, and the campus corridors into a four-day crucible of fierce parliamentary debate, twilight Kavyanjali mushairas, high-octane fandom & anime quizzes, psychological deduction trials, and campus-wide riddles.

I · Oratory & SANSAD

Forging fearless voices on the floor of VAAKYUDH, SANSAD, and Devil’s Advocate.

II · Verse & Syaahi

Celebrating Hindi kavita, Urdu shayari, English spoken word, and original prose across Kavyanjali, Sargoshiyan (Open Mic), and Syaahi.

III · Lore, Wit & Camaraderie

Uniting the campus through Ultimate Brain Battle, Binge N' Conquer, SPY X WHY, Doomscroll India Doomscroll (DID), Traitors, Beg Borrow Steal, Treasure Hunt, NOOR-E-CINEMA, and the Corridor Hogathon.
