Students keenly listened to and participated in the discussion of health and safety measures to be followed to avoid this pandemic, as well as ways to deal and cope with the stress and panic created due to it.

They also enjoyed the video on MS Dhoni’s resilience to deal with the stressful phase of his life and how to emerge as a leader from it. They actively participated in the discussion on the tips and tricks of stress management, which could be applied in every domain of life by anyone and everyone, and not just during Covid!

They were exuberant and whole-hearted sessions with great response and encouraging feedback!
