The theme Vocabbadicts indicates that our students are addicted to developing their vocabulary to the level, which can make them fluent in English communication. For this, trainers of CTLD researched the English literature and compiled a booklet of 25 pages containing 1000 words of different types. It is pertinent to mention that words weren't the commonly used words but quite complex. Students of all the colleges of University were encouraged to register and take part in this mega event by CTLD trainers and student Volunteers. A total of 320 teams (960 students) registered.
