    Dear students

    Where we will be having a weekly Zoom session, this chat room has been created to facilitate you all in any way possible. You can share your queries related to course, previous lecture, a particular topic, etc and I will respond to it accordingly. Furthermore, you can even answer queries of your fellows. Please keep your discussions restricted to course and be respectful towards one another. 

    You can drop in your questions any time during the week and I will try to get back to it that very day. This would be more convenient for you all instead of conversing via email.  

    Warm Regards.
