Two days filled with knowledge, fun and laughter.

Since the last one and a half year, the whole nation has been traumatized by an invisible deadly virus, and various people as well as organizations are coming forward in order to help those who have been affected by the coronavirus. The media students of Inspiria Knowledge Campus under the wing of Inspiria Tv also contributed to this cause through organising a two day nationwide fundraising event with hope of uniting students and unleashing talent within India. The event was organised on 10th and 11th of july via online platform. The past month has been a blast for Inspiria tv, as all the members were preparing for the second version  India’s largest e-media fest Esperanza 2.0, which turned out to be quite a success and a ray of satisfaction was visible  in everyone’s face. The event Esperanza was initiated last year with an aim to become a silver lining to these dark times where everyone is battling the wrath of coronavirus, which was successfully carried for the second time this year. The event was a fundraising campaign and the fund generated from this event is donated to the people who were suffering from hardships of coronavirus. The word “esperanza”is of spanish origin which translated in english means hope. And through Esperanza we the members of Inspiria Tv hoped to become a beacon of light in these tough times.
