A Typical Day at NDC

General

A typical day at the NDC is rather difficult to describe. However, the narration here is to give a broad idea of activities that go on at the College.

Morning Session

09:00 to 09:50/10:20h
In the mornings, the IAGs get together in their respective rooms to discuss/take stock of progress of analysis work that is assigned to various teams of the IAGs. The IAG Chairpersons and Coordinating Chairpersons also carry out co-ordination of various activities scheduled for the day. If the programme has a lecture, it will commence at 1030h and if it is a panel discussion, it will be at 1000h. The guest speakers arrive by 0945 h/1015 h and are received by the Commandant and the SDS, who discuss together the main issues likely to come up during the presentation/lecture. The Course Members in the meantime have a cup of tea and gather in the Lecture Hall.

Lecture/Panel Discussion
This commences at scheduled time with an introduction by the SDS In-charge. There is a coffee break at around 1130 h for 30 minutes. Then follows the Question and Answer session, wherein the Course Members ask their questions. The talk/panel discussion is concluded with the remarks of the Commandant.
