VAYURVYUHA is the annual inter-collegiate Aeronautical technical festival conducted in the ACS College of Engineering, Bengaluru, India. Etymologically, the word ‘VAYURVYUHA’ is composed of two words, ‘VAYU’ in Sanskrit which stands for ‘Air’ and ‘VYUHA’ in Sanskrit stands for ‘Formation’, hence; the word ‘VAYURVYUHA’ signifies AERIAL FORMATION. The year 2014, fueled by the immense desire of the students saw major growth in the technical activities of the Institute, which ultimately culminated in VAYURVYUHA 2015, the first major event as well as the first Aeronautical technical fest of the Institute. The maiden edition of the three day fest was a student-managed event held on 14th, 15th and 16th October 2015. The main objective is to provide collegiate students with a platform to showcase their scientific and engineering talents.
The festival features various competitions, Presentations and workshops. Despite being the First edition, VAYURVYUHA received an enormous response from across the country. More than 160 Students from 28 different engineering Colleges took part to the make the fest as a grand event.
