School of Education gave an opportunity for the first year students of B Ed and M A (Education) to showcase their talents through an event called – Back To School. This event was conducted on 24th June 2017, Saturday. The students were divided into five groups and were asked to put up a well-coordinated show. This was a platform for all the first year students to get to know their fellow classmates.
