editorial The academic year 2019-2020 has been an eventful one. The sesquicentennial celebration of our institute continued, where the gargoyles and arches witnessed legendary talks, enthused academic dynamism balanced with festive zeal, ending on a high note with a seminar on initiatives in higher education and education policy, much in keeping with the legacy of our institute. Just when everything seemed to end on the normal note of yearly exams, results and summer school exchange programs, a sudden jolt brought everything to a halt. It was posing challenges not only to us but to the entire human race. Stepping aside, trying to make sense of the situation, we realized that life has to move on. Our race with time and pace eased to an extent by means of adapting to remote working, Times of crisis open up new avenues, they say. Sensing the need of the hour in an optimistic way led us to make the transition to online teaching. Numerous training sessions introducing the new methods and techniques in online teaching helped the faculty to adopt the new mode of communication. This continued in fostering the spirit of interaction, although virtual! Adhering to our prime value of Integration, Innovation and Inclusion, we have tried to uphold the teaching-learning process, administration and mitigating the concerns of our student community in this trying time, thus echoing the vision of our founder members of taking the difficulties in our stride and scale new height of excellence. The annual college magazine encompasses the spirit and diverse engagements on the campus. This edition endeavor of support and coordination of all the staff and student committee members in putting together creative offerings and yearly chronicle through remote working. We hope to overcome this crisis soon and move back to our world strengthening the spirit of human connectedness.

3 It is time to reinvent the wheels of life which have moved us swiftly forward without ensuring that we are moving in the right direction. Our three primary inclusion. The present pandemic has provided us with a rare opportunity to reorient our lives in keeping with these values. in what ways do innovative ideas and projects add integral value to personal

and social life, which persons and sections of society benefit from human inventiveness and discovery, what is

the collateral damage done to humans and the environment as a result of developmental projects? Creativity

and novelty need to be measured in the light of such questions. Else we will continue living in a stressfully

competitive and achievement-oriented world producing mindless consumables, blissfully unaware of the damage

that human productivity has bequeathed upon the environment. The old insular benchmarks of novelty, efficiency,

bureaucratic organization and profit margins need to be checked and balanced by socially accountable measures

such as maximum social utility, environmental sustainability, and integral and inclusive development of human

potential.

In terms of personal integration, we need to ask whether school and college education is making us more honest,

responsible, balanced, centered and wise persons. Whether we are emotionally and socially intelligent, and team

players rather than solo and lonely achievers, whether we have learned to live joyful and peaceful lives, coming

to terms with our limitations and vulnerabilities. Models of heroic achievement and privileged social location,

as well as toxic addiction towards power, wealth and superficial thrills will only contribute towards growing

anxiety disorders both personally and collectively. These ideals and goals need to be replaced with models of

authentic and joyful living based on the valuing of substance over style and hype, uniqueness over conformity,

measured over frenzied living and collaboration over competition.

a larger world of co-belonging, where no one is a stranger or feels inadequate because of some limitation or

incapacity. In a closely connected world of political, economic and cultural engagement, we will need to learn

how to live collaboratively and productively together as a human family. Political and economic wellbeing is

intrinsically related to social harmony. Social inclusion also necessarily includes environmental concern. If two

will be in terms of creating a wholesome and sustainable life for all. Otherwise one type of dysfunctional normal

life will simply be replaced by another.
