This online conference was an ice breaking session with a few alumnus of Berhampur University and at the same time we had a bright talk about AI and it's different aspects. All the credit goes to our respected teacher Pradeep sir and also Bishnu who enlighten us about the technical learning. As an academician this session helped me gather more information about New Media. Thank you everyone hope we would have such intellect discussion further.

The conference ignited a lot of nostalgia and I time-travelled to the university days when I used to run to Dr.Pradeep Mahapatra Sir for guidance on anything and everything. This time also our discussions were whirl winding, starting from the recent happenings in the field of new media, use of AI, copyright issues, interactive websites and chatbots to challenges being faced by each participant on professional front and ways to deal with them. The session was interesting, engaging, thought provoking and at the same time very cosy and cordial. Dr Mahapatra in his usual earthy and unassuming style took the role of a life coach and advised each one of us and discussed about our life goals, future plans as well as financial plannings! Felt so good that someone wise and intellectual is ready to hold your hand and show the right path at the time of need. Thank you Dr Pradeep Mahapatra Sir for taking the initiative and bringing us together on such a wonderful platform
