In this month’s panel discussion, the panelists explore the impact of COVID 19 on the education system. This panel comprises of Akriti Bhatia, Founder and Director of PAIGAM, and student activists Damini Kain and Amarjeet Kumar Singh. Throughout the discussion, the discussants delve into the impact this sudden shift in educational realms would have on different groups.

Samvaad as an initiative sprouted from the very idea of engaging in discussion and providing a platform not just to a wide range of scholars but also students and budding academicians in various fields of research.

This month Samvaad conducted discussions with Dr. Kamlesh Misra, Vice Chancellor of Rishihood University and Mr. Roshan Kishore, a journalist at Hindustan Times.

Both conversations were conducted by Professor Deepanshu Mohan.

Talk Point is the segment of the Patrika wherein individuals are interviewed based upon their perception and understanding of a certain issue.
