The pandemic has restricted everyone including the teachers and the students to their homes but it couldn't hamper their determination to give the freshers of B.A., a warm and hearty welcome, and acquaint them with the department.

    

The online orientation programme commenced at 3:00 p.m. with a welcoming note by the hosts of the programme, Hiranmayee & Ciri of B.A. final year, followed by the introduction of the Head of Department of English and Foreign Languages, Suchitra Ma'am, by Leena & Supriya of B.A. second year.

    

The coordinator of the programme and  faculty member, Jhilam Ma'am comforted, cheered & encouraged the students with her charming words & graceful presence.

The "Quills Literary Club"— a significant part of the Department of English & Foreign Languages, was  spoken about by Syeda Mariya of B.A. second year, followed by a mesmerizing poetry dance performance by Sahithi of B.A. final year and Pranayanjali of B.A. second year on 'Trapped' by Veda Sri of B.A. final year.

The programme consisted of a series of speeches by the teachers as well as students regarding the activities of the department. The students also spoke about their personal experiences with the college and the faculty members.

Final year and second year students ensured that the programme was not mundane & thoroughly entertaining for their juniors by organising various games, cultural and dance performances in the course of the event, and interacted with the first years to make them feel comfortable throughout the programme.

The beautiful poetry recitation by Aishwarya of B.A. second year left everybody in amazement.

An interactive session was conducted towards the end of the programme in order to communicate with the freshmen and have their feedback.

The programme concluded with a vote of thanks by Pooja of B.A. final year.
