Key Note Address at Namchi, Sikkim

 On 15th Novemeber, 2016,  delivered the key note address at the Namchi Government College, Sikkim, in the National Conference on Changing role of women in post Independent Indian society.I am very impressed with the infrastructure of Namchi College and the dress of the students.All the boys and girls wear the same dress trousers and shirts which are tucked in .The faculty went out of the way and I am very humbled by the love and affection show.The principal Dr.Pradhan is doing a very good job.They have a beautiful choir. My student Jeevanandam  also came all the way from Gangtok to meet me. Most of the faculty is very young.It is heartening to see each and every faculty involved in the seminar be it organising, picking and dropping guests, organising sessions and food and tea etc. Every one in the college is involved as if it is a personal family function of theirs.One has so much to learn from these places and I am very touched.I enjoyed listening to the papers and getting to know about Sikkimese society and culture. The English of most of the students is very good and the papers were also of a high standard.
