The Department of Philosophy organized its annual Philosophy Day-Eidos on 20th February 2009 wherein the interface between scholars and students on the topic “Equality Versus Affirmative Action” was arranged. Eminent scholars such as Professor Subrato Mukherjee (Department of Political Science, Delhi University) and Professor Gurpreet Mahajan (Centre for Political Studies, Jawahar Lal Nehru University) were invited to give the students an opportunity to interact with them and understand the social, ethical and political interpretation of the above mentioned topic.

As part of the informal events on the day of Eidos, the Department organized inter-college competitions like ‘C-n-Speak’ (Picture Extempore) and ‘Splash’ (Paint without Brush) to provide the students a canvas for their creativity and to bring out their latent talents. Mrinal Sharma, student of Philosophy (Hons) II year won the first prize in C-n-Speak and Mahak Uppal from the same class bagged the first prize in Splash.

The third issue of the Newsletter of the Department, Reflection was released on the same day.
