BSSS college organises an online inter college panel discussion

The department of humanities of the Bhopal School of Social Sciences (

BSSS

), organized an online inter college

panel discussion

on the topic ‘does a new era of development awaits Jammu and Kashmir?’ Nine students from different colleges across the country expressed their views with

IAS Sudhir Kochar

being the expert speaker on the topic.

Moderating the session Dr. Shriji Seth found that some participants emphasized on the need to talk to take a sunny side up approach while others were highly critical of the way things have been functioning. Gautami Nair, a student of

Gargi College

, University of Delhi expressed her opinion by defining what development is in actual terms for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and stressed upon the quest to find the right path of development. While Sambal Jha, a student of

MIT Pune

, reminded everyone that it’s still early times to take a call on how effectively the administration is working in J&K, when even after 73 years of Independence, some states in our country are still searching for the right approach towards development.

On the other hand student Shiasta Khan representing The Bhopal School of Social Sciences, took an interesting approach when she broke down the word “development” and pointed out that if not done in the right way, there sits a “devil” in development. The interesting session culminated with the views of the keynote speaker IAS Sudhir Kochar. After listening to all the students he said that what has happened has happened and rather than discussing the past of the state it is the time when we look out for solutions.
