Interviews
In order to gain an 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 in the anvil. All such interviews would be available in transcribed form in our magazine and the videos of the same will be available on this page.

The concept is also seen as a way to offset job losses caused by technology.
