Laasya, the music and art club of IFMR was inaugurated in 2009 to keep the artist alive in us. At Laasya we welcome every form of art. The critically important role of the arts in the academy, as in life, is to enable us to see the world and the human condition differently, and in seeing the world through a particular work of art, to see a truth we might not have understood before. Imagination and a sense of discovery are often as important as knowledge. In the past 1 year, Laasya conducted Online Quiz, Dandiya night and Antakshari. DJ nights have enabled students to enjoy their life fully.
