Roorkee: The North Zone Convention – 2010 of SPIC MACAY will be held at IIT Roorkee from 16th to 19th September, 2010. SPIC MACAY is a non-profit, voluntary, non-political and participatory youth movement. It is dedicated to enriching education by presenting a holistic vision of Indian culture, its priceless heritage of Classical, Folk and Community traditions. From its inception, thousands of volunteers, mostly youth, have participated in the movement, holding aloft its aims and objectives. SPIC MACAY today is a network of over 200 chapters in India and 30 abroad. About 2000 programmes are organized every year in schools and colleges spread over India where Maestros of Indian classical and folk traditions spread awareness about the many splendored cultural heritage of India through Lecture-demonstrations, concerts and workshops.

The movement could take roots only due to the unstinted support and blessings of the dozens of our classical and folk traditions.
