The Madras High Court banned beauty contests and peagents in schools and colleges across Tamil Nadu on Friday.


Following the orders, students across Tamil Nadu will no longer be allowed to walk the ramp or flaunt their beauty and fashion sense.


An interim order said a circular must be issued to ban or not to conduct any such beauty shows.


The court passed the orders on petition filed by the mother of an engineering student who had won such a contest in an engineering college, but was allegedly not paid the assured prize.


While the court held that a final order cannot be passed without the university's affidavit. It criticised holding of a beauty contest during a cultural event at the government run college.


The court said, "How will walking the ramp benefit an engineering student."

Amidst numerous contests and games, students gave voice to social issues such as child labour and female foeticide through a walkathon and went on to portray the country’s cultural diversity in a parade at VIT University’s Riviera 2015 on Friday.


As the international sports and cultural festival entered its second day, about 100 to 150 students walked the roads of the university to spread the message to stop child labour, female foeticide and child trafficking.


“This is a protest march against child labour, female foeticide and child trafficking. We had three musical skits. This walkathon is a regular feature during Riviera,” said Neerav N. Gala, a student and board member of Bangalore-based NGO Juvenile Care, VIT branch.


The day’s main highlight was the cultural parade under the banner – “Aikya” (unity). Students, representing various cultures were part of the parade to showcase the country’s diversity, said Jewel, committee coordinator of Events and Culturals.


“About 15 to 20 different cultures were showcased. This is in line with Riviera 2015’s theme —“Colours of India”. Students represented various States as the campus itself has students from every State in the country,” she added.


Students dressed up in the respective State’s traditional attire, showcasing the culture’s uniqueness by way of dance and music and also through martial arts.


States such as Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra and Manipur were showcased.
