As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept the nation, our internship is confronted with a monumental challenge. We were supposed to do our internship at hospitals and gain more of practical experience but now we have no other option rather than virtual learning. But SVCP has never disappointed us, our college has opted for innovative ways to get back on track by introducing programmed internship on a day to day basis using a wide range of online platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams and providing educational resources like Coursera, webinars and guest lectures as well. Being honest, this virtual learning also seems amazing; I have improved my presentation and communication skills. Though it wasn’t a kind of practical experience I can say I have gained a lot of knowledge in my subject through our online internship program which was designed brilliantly by our professors that helped me to learn and enjoy my internship by creating a stress-free environment. Also, our college has helped us to cope up with this pandemic blues by planning some recreational sessions with the help of Vedic. Besides, we didn’t miss having fun at college events, I enjoyed playing Sudoku online and virtual World Pharmacist Day celebrations as well.

The petrifying and extreme impact of COVID-19 has shaken the world to its core. Additionally, the governments across the globe have quickly closed the academic establishments from school-going kids to postgraduate college students making an attempt to comprise the unfold of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic triggered a new way of learning. Our college, Shri Vishnu College of Pharmacy has come up with e-learning programs to ensure they complete the academic year and also to start the following academic year. Our teachers introduced us to different apps to make this learning attractive and at the same time to test our understandings through quizzes. The classes were never stressful for us as they lasted only in the mornings. Our college has offered us Coursera courses for free, which usually cost high. Almost every student got benefited from this. The staff has encouraged us to participate in various national events that were organized. Apart from education, we all were involved in the fitness challenge, through which we gave everyone a message to perform physical activity daily, which must be a new normal these days.

Recently I have visited my college to write my final exams. In this situation, where parents are not ready to expose their families to the risk of COVID infection, our college has taken all the possible measures it can, to keep us safe. From sanitization to the food we eat, the management was very particular. Near the entrance, they arranged a sanitation booth, for making sure that every person entering the campus is sanitized and checked for temperature raise. The hostel management has given each of us, plates and glasses to prevent any spread of the infection. The hostel rooms were shared by only two members. The favorite part of mine, they supplied tea and biscuits at night for the students who were awake and preparing for the exams. The wardens were so strict, they never allowed us to step out of the hostel without a mask. And at the examination hall, every day they checked our temperature, and we can only step into the college after sanitation. They made us maintain social distancing by placing each other very far in the examination hall, which was a sad part for the students. The management sanitized the rooms daily. We happily and safely completed our exams and now we are almost halfway to the one-half syllabus of our next academic year.

We all are very happy and grateful for our College, as it helped us in these tough times to complete this year SAFELY.

Hello everyone! Myself, Dr. Santhosh B Kumar, Assistant professor from the Department of Pharmacy Practice, SVCP.  Amidst the pandemic,  SVCP has gained the trust of hundreds of students and their parents through its incredible work. It probed the significance of on-line classes much earlier than any other college and grappled enough amount of time that everyone had and utilized it efficiently for the welfare of students by conducting on-line classes and also maintaining a strict Attendance record ( online). . The way the technical team and all other staff members envisaged the importance of future learning ( digital learning),  helped many students to accustom with the modification and mold themselves into a better individual by utilizing time for online classes, Coursera, webinars, seminars, cultural activities, and many more.  The way SVCP planned the time table to cover the academic syllabus and conducting of examinations and giving salaries to each and every employee amid the pandemic is really appreciative.
