MINUTES OF THE THIRD SAC MEETING

The 3rd meeting of the Students Affairs Council was held on 11th January 2018 at 5:30 pm in the Bhaskara hall. The meeting had a very poor participation at the start.

The issues listed in the agenda were discussed first, followed by other issues raised by the councilors. The following were the highlights of the meeting:
