About SPIC MACAY

The official SPIC MACAY chapter at VNIT Nagpur — preserving
and promoting India's classical heritage on campus.

Our Mission

The SPIC MACAY chapter at VNIT Nagpur is dedicated to bringing the richness of India's classical arts to the campus. We organise workshops, live performances, and interactive sessions that let students experience the depth of classical music, dance, painting, and folk traditions first-hand.

Our chapter has been a vibrant force on campus — hosting the 8th International Convention in 2023, conducting year-round workshops in Madhubani, Warli, Kathak, Tabla, and more. We believe that exposure to classical arts cultivates patience, focus, and a deeper connection to India's heritage.

SPIC MACAY

SPIC MACAY (Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music And Culture Amongst Youth) is a voluntary youth movement founded in 1977 by Dr. Kiran Seth at IIT Delhi. What began as a small series of classical music programmes has grown into one of the largest cultural movements in the world.

The movement is driven by a simple philosophy — expose young people to the depth and beauty of Indian classical arts, and they will be transformed. SPIC MACAY has presented over 15,000 programmes in 900+ cities across India and abroad, bringing maestros into classrooms, campuses, and communities.

Today, SPIC MACAY has active chapters in hundreds of colleges, schools, and institutions worldwide — each driven by student volunteers who carry forward the mission of preserving India's intangible cultural heritage for future generations.
