The second ManoMandal session brought the series to the Kandoli campus. Like the first, it was built around the theme "Heartfelt Connections: Open Conversations for All" and invited students to share their experiences, challenges and successes in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
Student speakers from the Schools of Law, Modern Media, Liberal Studies and Business shared their journeys, and student counsellor Dr Veena Krishnan joined as guest speaker. Participants again wore orange as a sign of warmth and positivity.
