Participating 'online' in 'National BrainStorming Network on Landslides' at BITS, MESRA - 16Mar2020

Even though I was invited to attend the above workshop at BITS, Mesra (Ranchi), because of the COVID19 problem, I cancelled my travel plans.
I could however deliver my entire presentation on 'Landslides Hazards - a silent disaster form', online to the many scientists available at BITS and I daresay it was well received.
