Sad. But it happens oft. From the looks of it, it was the department’s first symposium. We can understand the lack of organizing, owe to poor support from staff and no experience. Atleast they can be courteous to the participants. Its part of our culture damn it – “Athithi devo bavah” (Guests are equivalent to God).
My advice to them and other newbies – go to other college symposiums (irrespective of the department), take ideas from them, think it over, notice how they handle mishaps etc.
It is not surprising to have mishaps and it is impossible to look into every possible problem before hand. Least you can do is minimize them.
I thank Arun for creating this blog and letting me comment. I hope this will help budding Sympo Organizers!
All the Best!!
