Focusing on the importance of such events post-pandemic, RP Banerjee, director-chairman of EIILM Kolkata said, “These events are an important part of the curriculum. Students learn life lessons from such initiatives and during the pandemic, everything happened in the limited digital space. We let students do things on their own. They are organising it and the faculty is only there for support. They can’t be good managers or professionals until they take up responsibility, make mistakes and learn from them.”
