Greetings from Xavier Institute of Polytechnic and Technology!
We all have been witnessing the difficulties imposed by COVID-19 in our daily life and particularly its adverse impact on education sector. We all are supposed to follow the directives issued by the Central and State Governments during the lock down period. The biggest weapon to fight COVID-19 at the moment is to maintain social distancing which we all are following. XIPT is already aware that since last one month, several initiatives have been taken by MHRD, AICTE, UGC, JUT etc. to ensure that faculty and students efficiently utilize the time and resources during lock down.
As all Higher Education Institutions are closed due to COVID-19, so is XIPT. Due to this temporary closure of XIPT, many IIC-Calendar activities stand delayed. and due to which IIC-Institutes are not able to complete the IIC calendar activities. In times of distress the Innovation is the need of the hour and hence we have to keep moving in the direction of sustained Innovation and entrepreneurship, especially when we are a quarter away from completing our IIC calendar.
