About the Theme - How UnpredictABLE are You?
People are like snowflakes. Each of us have our own distinctive stories to tell. Ups and Downs are bound to be inevitable. This is what makes life so unpredictable.
Unpredictability can be anything, from a sudden idea that could bring a drastic change to the way you live to an incident that might alter very important aspects of your life. These situations could come either in the form of a boon or a bane. What we do with the consequences of these occurrences is what we plan on exploring through the various accounts our speakers will be giving to us.
Our students from Sahyadri were successful to get licence to host this event in our college. Basavarajeshwari from fifth semester, Dept. of Information Science & Engineering is the Chief coordinator and licensee for the event and Srujan from fifth semester, Dept. of Information Science & Engineering is the Coordinator.
