Kaapikootam initially began as a way to talk about the SAC election and the proposals of the participating candidates. It was just an informal discussion for friends to join. It later extended to become a place where people could gather to talk, considering the mental health benefits of having a place to connect with new people. It was eventually that kaapikootam gained its present format- that of not just an informal gathering to meet new people, but also one that makes students aware of the challenges and issues going on in campus. | |||
The essence of Kaapikootam lies in its informal yet impactful nature. Over cups of coffee, participants engage in discussions that range from academic concerns to social issues, from campus facilities to cultural activities. By bringing these conversations out of the digital realm and into face-to-face interactions, Kaapikootam helps in building a more connected and cohesive student body. | The essence of Kaapikootam lies in its informal yet impactful nature.
