The juniors also shared their brief experiences in the department and expressed their hopes to learn more about journalism and mass communication. The departmental faculty members also shared their experiences and conveyed hopes that the alumni batch will develop further and stay connected with them. Other departmental faculty members also attended and encouraged their programmes and thoughts about this connection between seniors and juniors.
