SDG Aligned Activity Outcomes with Objectives:

The Department of Computer Science organized an insightful awareness session for the students of Second Year. The session was conducted by Mr. Aryan Kaushik, student CS 4th Sem Section A who is GSoC'23 Intern at Chromium, GSoC'22 Intern at GNOME Foundation, Group Lead at GNOME Users Group, Delhi – NCR, Upcoming speaker at GUADEC, Latvia.

The event was coordinated by Prof. Arti Sharma. The session was planned for the second-year students of CS Dept. who are already studying the Operating System as a subject.
The topic of the session revolved around "Decoding Linux and its Kernel," aiming to provide attendees with a deeper understanding of the Linux operating system and its core components. With Linux being widely used in the field of computer science and open-source development, the session aimed to enhance participants' knowledge and proficiency in this area.

The event kicked off with an introduction by Prof. Arti Sharma, highlighting the importance of Linux and its Kernel in the world of computing. Mr. Aryan Kaushik, then took the stage and began unraveling the intricacies of the Linux operating system.
