Chetan Bhagat & Rama Pandey in ‘Big Fight’


2nd Day of ‘Kritansh’ festival by KIIT University

BHUBANESWAR: Eminent writer and novelist Mr. Chetan Bhagat and Ms. Rama Pandey, CEO, Montage Films graced the ‘Big Fight’ segment of Kritansh – the mega techno-management fest of KIIT University on 15th February 2012. The topic of ‘Big Fight’ was ‘Should the social networking be censored?’

Putting her views, Ms Pandey argued that there should be some check and balance in social networking sites. We should prepare our mindset to oppose the demerits of the social networks, she said, adding that these sites cannot be allowed to pollute our society. Countering her contention, Mr. Bhagat said, while it would be improper to curtail free will, users should exercise self control. Even though technology runs social networking sites, it is not easy to censor it, he maintained. If it is censored, who would be responsible for such censor, he asked.

Kritansh was inaugurated on 14th February. On the second day, events such as Bulls And Bears, Consigliere, Kronos, Contraption, Innovative Bridge Design (Megabuilders), Man Vs Nature (Megabuilders), Blitzkreig, Stack ‘em Up, Innovation Intensified, Impulse, Robust, Riff-e-Random, Ground Zero, Klick, Snap n Splash, D Mask, Mehndi, Does Grey Matter, Codiac, Krukshetra, Khoj, Karmayudh, Robowars, Wall-I, Crack The Track, Arkitech, Robo Race, Unicursal, Aqua Drivers, Gyrate To The Grid and Crank It Up were held.
