Panelists' intro (if possible): Can't recollect now, u'll get a notepad in which faculty info will be given for all faculty.

Duration: 2 min to think, 15 min to discuss.

Brief snapshot of discussion: Ours was the 1'st group to start the proceedings at DMS. Seniors specially told that not to make a fish marlet else the whole group will be ousted. I started the GD by saying that mobiles have become inevitable in our lives . There are pros and cons of it. So lets discuss those and then what further can be done in this field to optimize it. Then the fkow of GD started with ppl sharing advantages like connectivity to rural areas , mobile banking, security for women and many more. Disadvantages were also brought like health issues, scandals MMS's, youth chatting for long periods , so stoppage of creativity in them etc etc....Overall it was a good GD. At some points, it became a bit fishy market but the group itself resolved it pretty well in my opinion.
