The hour-long presentation portrayed the perspective of the media studies students regarding the political situation and politics of the country in the present context.

The presentation was intended to create better understanding of the political system at work and model procedures our law makers or people representatives should adhere to during situations that challenge national Security and Sovereignty, opined Srinivasan Nandagopal, Professor of Political Science at NICO. "We need to move beyond academics and syllabus and make students aware of ground realities to think critically on issues that matter", he remarked.
