ZEST, the English Literary Society of DDUC

ZEST, for us, embodies the principals of academics, scholarship and brilliance. The guiding principles exemplified through our society are:
Z in ZEST is inspired from the Greek word Zelos. It reflects the spirit and fervour for a cause and interprets the whole idea of being virtuous, everything that supports endures and exhalts life.
E in ZEST comes from the Latin word Enuntiatus; it emblematizes expression and its various modes viz.innovation and pathbreaking.
S in ZEST comes from the Greek word Sunergos, it epitomises the ideal of togetherness and unity and negates the concept of us vs. them. It appeals for alliance and aims for cohesion.
Last but not the least T in ZEST comes from the Latin word Tribunus. It is the reminder of being the pioneers in the sphere of knowledge. It is symbolic of the whole system of higher education in which we participate not only to earn livelihood but to carve out a living.
'Zest' is what we believe in and what we practice.
