Dear all,
am excited that we are entering into the Discussion sessions. My lecture would be around 50-60 minutes, and the remaining part of the session would be carried out in the format of group discussions and short oral presentations (based on the group discussions). 

It would be helpful if you are prepared with your reading materials and everything. Carry your smartphone!
