Debate at college
A debate was organised on the topic ‘Behavioural disturbances among students in the context of society, family and social media’ among first year students of V.O. Chidambaram College. Two years of online education has made students distracted and inattentive in classrooms. The students spoke on how alcoholism has affected a lot of families. Unbridled use of social media has also affected many. Peace has to prevail at the homefront as individual homes are the pillars of the society, they said. The debate was organised by M. Nagarajan of the Department of Physics. The event was presided by Principal C.Veerabahu.
