Interviews

In order to gain insight into the thoughts of a person and conduct a holistic extraction of views on a certain topic, few things can be as effective as an interview. Being inquisitive students, we are keen to interview prominent people and understand their perspectives. For a start, we have interviewed former chief election commissioner S.Y. Quraishi for our monthly magazine ‘The Probe’, and more such interviews are on the anvil. All such interviews will be available in transcribed form in our magazine, and the videos of the same will be available on this page.
