Ananda Mohan College - Central Library

As part of the External Summer Internship Programme - 2026, I had the opportunity to conduct two interactive sessions for the Physiology Honours students (Semester II & IV) of Vidyasagar College, Surendranath College, and Bangabasi Evening College as the Librarian of the institution.

📚 Session 1: Web-Based Information Sources for Academics
🔐 Session 2: AI Tools and Cyber Security

The students participated enthusiastically and remained actively engaged throughout both sessions. Their curiosity and thoughtful interactions made the experience highly rewarding.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, cyber threats can affect anyone. I hope these sessions have strengthened the students' understanding of digital technologies, artificial intelligence and cyber security practices. Such awareness is essential not only for their personal safety but also for protecting their families and communities.

Had the opportunity to conduct two offline sessions as a resource person in the Summer Internship Programme–2026 for CCF B.Sc. Semester-IV students as the Librarian of the institution.

📘 Session 1: Web-Based Information Sources for Academics
🔐 Session 2: Cyber Security and Social Media Threats

The students showed great enthusiasm and remained actively engaged throughout the sessions, making the interactions highly enjoyable and meaningful. I hope the sessions helped enrich their academic and digital awareness. It will also encourage them to practise digital hygiene, become responsible digital citizens and stay protected against cyber fraudsters and online criminals.
