Success of Session on Encounter with the Pandemic: A Sociological perspective

"Encounter with the Pandemic: A Sociological perspective"

The unprecedented times have exhibited the word ‘Pandemic’ as the word of the year and we cannot but notice our surroundings being painted with a different hue.

The speaker highlighted how the society was a very different aspect to the Pandemic. Aggregates of people, characterizes a society and engulfs diversity. The diversity posits many differences, which in turn defines the position of someone in the social matrix.
