You need to create a positive mindset. Start learning to question yourself and define the purpose, belief and cause of yourself and your works. Also, run a SWOT analysis for yourself twice a year.

This is your time and opportunity and you have to make the most of it,” shared Mr. Srivastava with the students.  
In another webinar lecture Dr. K.N Saraswathy, Faculty, Delhi University, shared his views with the students on ‘COVID19 in India – An anthropological insight’. “In the language of Anthropology Social distancing is not correct term, because we all are connected through various social media platform. According to Anthropology, physical distancing is the correct word. At this point of time, Animal forestry study should be done on priority.  80% population of rural areas is not infected to such kind of infections from virus or bacteria. Chances of carrying the infection are even more in forest due to forest animals but still rural areas are not infected. Research department should conduct research on these facts by collecting the data of rural people as well. I would also suggest to conduct research by collecting blood samples of cured patients,” said Dr. Saraswathy.
Amity University is constantly organizing webinars inviting Presidents, MDs, CEOs of top Global and Indian companies along with academicians to encourage and enrich Amity students with their experiences.
