Vichaarmanthan
Vichaarmanthan - is an interactive program organized by the Kristu Jayanti College, where students are exposed to Indian and Global visionaries. The global experts address the students on education, business, science, tech and creativity and encourage them to be globally competent.
Vichaarmanthan literally means churning of ideas , and exactly this happens through the fruitful discussions. This interactive series with Indian and Global visionaries has brought many institutional heads to our campus like, Lok Ayukta, IIM Directors, and IIT Directors.
The objective behind this creative forum is to maintain a regular interaction with the industry as well as academia and to discuss the upcoming trends in various disciplines. In Vichaarmanthan, every session is specifically tailored to our students’ requirement, and is thought provoking, interactive and challenging which will positively impact their well-being.
