  Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. – John Dewey Through the OST program at Christ, we equip students to follow this ideal from the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey. With this focused study on an organization and its workings, the student will have undergone self-preparatory lessons prior to the commencement of their MBA education. In completing the OST program the student thus crosses over to the realm of a professional. They understand the deeper working of the industry and its requirements, equipping them to pursue their MBA program with a more focused goal in mind. OST thus aims to set our MBA students apart from the other MBA graduates in the country. As informed by their respective mentors, all of the students put up commendable presentations, and I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate the effort and commitment shown by them in this endeavor. The OST in many ways, has marked the beginning of your professional career. ...

It gives me immense pleasure to collaborate with Symbiosis for this endeavour. This is the first time Symbiosis and CHRIST Lavasa are coming together for a collaboration. I would like to begin by extending my gratitude to our eminent speakers, Dr. P G Chengappa and Dr. Sukhpal Singh. I’m sure this discussion will be enlightened by your presence and words.   Coming to the topic of discussion, as you all know that the agricultural reforms or the farmers bill that was passed recently gained a lot of attention. In today’s world where everyone has a platform to voice their opinion, it becomes difficult to understand an issue completely without it being colored by prejudices. It is in such cases that the onus falls upon institutions like ours to inform young minds in such a way that they may weigh in by themselves and come to their own conclusions about current issues and relevant topics. Through this panel discussion we hope to facilitate this ideology. So I hope all of you will c...

"The power of youth is the commonwealth for the entire world. The faces of young people are the faces of our past, our present, and our future. No segment in the society can match with the power, idealism, enthusiasm, and courage of the young people."-Kailash Satyarthi. If there is one thing we could agree on, every parent wants their children to be successful and lead a healthy life, but the harsh reality is that life is unpredictable and comes with enormous challenges. Parents are the first guidance from and through whom children learn every aspect of life, and knowingly or unknowingly, parenting creates an inerasable impact on youths' mental, physical and emotional well-being. Parents must understand the needs of their children to consciously create a safe space that would ensure mentally stable growth. Especially the youth period is a primary transitional phase that sets the carpet for the rest of the journey down life; with that being said, self-doubts, insecurities...

An initiative to confront our reality through art and movement therapy. It was a four-hour-long virtual workshop aimed at a step-by-step activity engaging our identity through expressive arts. Most often, our belief about ourselves is based on what others believe about us with the result, and we do not explore our full potential.

The capacity to express and manage one's emotions is essential, but so is the ability to comprehend, interpret, and respond to the feelings of others. Consider a world in which you...
