V and student representative Aiswarya. P felicitated the function. The official session was followed by Dr. Mallika Balakrishnan's interactive and engaging session. As a retired Headmistress and a consultant psychologist, she knew the pulse of the students and was able to instil novel perceptions on how to maintain good rapport with the students. The main takeaway of the session was how she conceptualized her idea of teaching- “to focus on the behaviour rather than the individual”.
