It all began when a few guys played a veena, a mridamgam and a few other instruments on the terrace of lapis hostel years ago. Today it is –The Music Troupe, a platform where a group of engineers rejoice at the ecstacy that the harmony of notes and the precision of percussion creates.

Aayaam is the Hindi Literary and Cultural Society of National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli. The idea of having such a forum was conceived by Hemant Kumar, Anirudh Roy and Rahul Gadewadikar. As an outcome of their efforts, Madhushala - an online portal on the intranet of NIT Tiruchirappalli, came into existence during 2004-05.

This portal was primarily dedicated to the people who were willing to contribute towards Hindi Literature. This literary group was the first of its kind in Tamil Nadu and the whole of South India, where Hindi is not widely spoken. The motive behind establishing Aayaam was to promote the love for Hindi in Trichy in general and NIT Trichy in particular. It provides a common platform to all the Hindi speaking people to make their voice heard on a mass scale, in form of their literary works. It is a platform for those who admire Hindi literature and want to bring forward their creativity in story writing , poem composition or any form of composition in Hindi.

This Student's Society aims at keeping the elegance of the national language, Hindi, blossoming in NITT. Having won numerous competitions outside the college, the members are brimming with confidence as they organize the Hindi literary competitions at the inter college level in the College Cultural Festival, Festember, apart from celebrating cultural events like Holi etc.

The English Literary Society of NITT has no doubt a very odd name to go by, but equally eccentric are the geniuses that are a part of it. Kings in their domains of english literary events from quizzing to dumb charades, the club has scalped numerous events around the country at national level. The informal atmosphere in the club builds to its character along with the uniqueness of the reason behind the name titled after a painting made by one of our alumnus during a competition he turned up late for and had only mere 10 minutes left. No doubt,  his smart interpretation saw him win first place and have his drawing immortalised as the logo of this club.
