Vimarsh today had its first lecture as part of its "MONTHLY LECTURE SERIES" by Dr Sunil Sondhi, respected Principal Sir and a distinguished expert in the field of International Relations on the topic "Ongoing Trade War between US & China".
It was indeed an enlightening & informative lecture, exceptional use of facts, data & statistics led to a deeper understanding about the ongoing "dispute" between the two countries.
During lecture, the point was made not to term this dispute as "war" as the two terms 'trade' & 'war' indeed cannot be used in the same tone.

The lecture session was followed by a question-answer session where students got the chance to put forth their doubts.

The lecture saw an active participation from the students of the all the departments and "Chakraview"- The Debating Society of the college attended the session too.

The team looks forward to organize more such lectures in the future which shall be fruitful & illuminating.

This article by Bhargavi Agarwal throws light on the importance of Swadeshi in our daily lives.

Even Bapu fought for Swadeshi! Then why can’t we? If Gandhi ji, in such compromising and ever struggling situation, can stick to the desi roots, then why can’t we trust and rely on our origin when …

THE GOD'S OWN COUNTRY SUBMERGED IN WATER!

Almost 400 people have died and more than a million have been displaced. Thousands remain in relief camps, unsure when they can return to their homes, and the economic cost of damages is estimated in billions of dollars.

This is what Kerala is facing right now!
Floods have not only taken things but taken lives too from our land, our nation.
In this state of distress, we witnessed people coming together from all over the nation to help.

Volunteers are cooking meals and distributing medicines, clothing, and other supplies donated from across the state, India, and even abroad.
In this only, we Vimarsh with Chakraview society of the college collaborated and collected some valuable items to lay our helping hands with our people of Kerala.
We are elated to see how enthusiastically our friends from all over the college helped and donated.
We were able to collect approximately 10 boxes of utilities including wheat, rice, sanitary napkins, food, baby items etc.

The team of all the volunteers from Vimarsh and Chakraview worked together to show the spirit of true unity and cooperation in the time of crisis and the very spirit of a nation.

India’s government has declined to accept them, citing a policy of not accepting disaster relief from abroad that has been followed since 2004.

We can help more to rehabilitate the people who have lost their homes with our little efforts!

Let's stand together for Kerala ❤
