Despite of early COVID-19 challenges SABRANG event was conducted before March 2020,
had 3 BLHPs & 1 ALHP. Thanks to Parth Sarathy for conducting learning session on Ethics and
this was discussed through a case study by Kumud. The second event SABRANG couldn’t
be held due to COVID-19. However, the RC supported the Deans Programme in planning and
marketing of Udaan 2020 and Udaan 2021.

Monthly meetings: It was a pleasure to listen to Abad Ahmad on Organisation Development
done on case study about BHEL. Over 50 members participated. It was an inspiring session
with much rich takeaway for everyone

Somnath Chattopadhyay Memorial Seminar: To honour our beloved Somnath
Chattopadhyay, series of sessions was organized in his memory across all regions. Four of
our eminent members Deepankar Roy, Ramesh Galohda, NP Singh designed these sessions,
planned and executed by Anupama Sharma and Kumud. More than 60 members participated
across regions. It was an overwhelming experience to hear the history of ISABS from the PMs
who had worked with the founder members on whose shoulders we are standing. It brought a
cross section of generations of ISABS on the same platform.

For PDP aspirants weekend learning sessions were done on ‘The art of Giving and Taking
Feedback’ facilitated by Sudhir K Aggarwal. Satayakki Bhattacharjee facilitated about ‘Defense
Mechanism’.

“The most significant achievement is that Covid provided an opportunity to work with
almost all Deans and other RCs. It was this Collaborative process that helped us emerge
victorious from an unprecedented adversity by turning it into an opportunity”
