What are your learnings from the pandemic and how are you dealing with the situation?

“We need to back our strength and look into weakness”

We need to be cautious and alert of the changes taking place continuously. Any institution should adopt modern ways of teaching or at least have the infrastructure that can be availed whenever the situation demands. As the pandemic has demanded, we shifted to online learning methods and it has been an overwhelming journey. The biggest lesson we have learned in these hard times is that we can never avoid changes. It is necessary to face and embrace it.
