Answering a question on how to keep up the spirit up during COVID times he said “my special message to students is don’t count the days, and stop guessing “kab khulega, kya hoga” “When everything will reopen and what next will happen”, just have balance and be strong minded, indulge in creative writing and thinking, do something different as things will be back  to normal in some time ,substantiating the same he shared his experience of being in Hong Kong in 2003 as an  investment banker when another serious epidemic SARS hit the country and left citizenry in a complete state of despair and hopelessness  but with the time this phase got over and all those who nurtured a positive  outlook wrote new success  stories post SARS.

Replying to Dr. Madhu Chitkara’s question; that how has the youth taken this whole crisis, has there been a change in their direction, he said, that the students and youth have been largely spending more time on screen, ie mobiles TV laptop etc, he advised that they should do that but also spend more time on creative thinking and doing different things. He suggested 2 hours of a screen time a day, apart from education online is still reasonable.

To Dr. Niyati Chitkara’s question that what will be the future of education in post corona era his answer was that he can foresee a hybrid system of education gaining currency with more increased focus on online modules along  with campus education as it’s equally important for students to pick up the key learning’s which only campus can provide.
