The ongoing pandemic and the lockdown has restricted our physical activities and
forced us into the safe corners of our homes. But this recluse in turn has lead to
distress, depressions and various other psychological issues. Thus it becomes
utmost important to address such issues especially in times like this. Psychological

would like to discuss and the entire session was
conceptualized based on these issues and other relevant
issues suitable to the pandemic times.
Interested students were asked to join the session to
directly interact with Prof. Sengupta and participate
in various activities. Live audience on YouTube were
