victims. As faculty and students race against time in order to equip themselves with the relevant skills and facilities to
complete syllabus online, the fate of offline classes and normalcy in institutions is staring at a horizon of uncertainty.
Keeping this at the core, an event from Vision Tribe- The Management Forum was organized for the students of II
Semester MBA who were asked to work in teams and come up with strategies that can be adopted by the institutions all
over the state as they slowly open up for regular contact classes. Students were given a week’s time to prepare and present
