S. Vijay Kumar, one of the students of Arena Chandigarh, was adjudged the All-India DAE Topper for 2008
Hailing from Lamdeng in Imphal, Son of a Government Employee, Soubam Vijay Kumar from ARENA Chandigarh Centre has been declared as the best DAE Student for the year 2008. 
Chandigarh was one of the first Arena centres to have launched the high-end DAE curriculum way back in 2005. During this period, Arena Chandigarh has produced some very fine artists who have joined the industry in India and Abroad.
The best DAE student Award is declared based on the overall weighted marks (minimum being 75%), which is taken into consideration for deciding the DAE Certificate Grade.
Vijay had come all the way from Lamdeng, Imphal (West District), with only one vision in his mind - to pursue animation education at Arena Chandigarh 17. He says,”Way back in 2005, when DAE course was just launched, I had come to know that it was being offered only through Chandigarh and Chennai centres. I opted for Chandigarh since I was sure that I would get more personal attention here - as animation is new in North India.”
Vijay is the son of Soubam Kulabi Singh, who is Manager, Loktak Power Station, N.H.P.C.

Jasmine Kaur was spotted by Student Guidance Cell, Panjab University during an all-college study on creativity. Luckily her name was recommended to Arena Chandigarh and after undergoing counselling, she was convinced that this was her call. She immediately joined AAASP and in no time she started to shine. The result was that she was North India Topper in her first semester itself.
Jasmine’s talent was very obvious even in the first “Creative Mind” competition where she submitted a beautiful portfolio for a product packaging.

Arena Chandigarh was Invited to hold a 3 Day Workshop on Maya at IIT Roorkee from 28-30 March 2008.
When the Arena Faculty Team of Senior Faculty Sushree Sunita Das, Lab assistants Deepak and Vijay Pratap reach the IIT Campus on 28 morning, there were around 60 curious students waiting anxiously for them. It was a pleasant change from the laidback normal student who comes to learn animation. The attendees had never seen Maya and the target was to get them working on Maya. The students went on to create their cartoon character models by the end of the 3rd day.
More than 25% of the students reached a stage where they could work on their own in the software. They were able to use materials, lighting, paint effects, basic rigging, character modelling, and basic animations by the end of the workshop.
Yogesh the co-ordinator of the workshop and also a Final Year student, was very happy with the feedback he recieved from the attendees.
Sushree, I was overjoyed when some students expressed their interest in taking up Animation as their career after finishing with IIT. A lot of students wanted repeat Workshops to happen as soon as possible.
Overall, the IITian language they’d say they were “Zapped” by the workshop. We’d say “Wait we’ll Zap the World”!!
