Feedback of the Session:

"I learnt from this orientation that I should spend less time on internet. I should not make friends with unknown people or give them my private information; I should not waste my time by playing online games and using social media very often. I should rather use that time for studying." - Pratyul Rath, IX
"Social media has made our generation handicapped. It is creating one Kriti every day. Smart phone’s main motive has been eradicated. Social media applications like facebook, instagram have the power to provoke ourselves to commit things which we know wrong. When Maam started narrating the story of Kriti, in my mind, I imaginated myself to be Kriti and my father to be Kriti’s father. That scenario can’t never be forgotton by my mind. This will always help me taking any decision regarding to smart phone. Thanks Salony Maam." - Abhipsha Pattnaik, IX
