| “Dr Chitgopekar has been giving lectures and presentations on various topics in Universities and colleges in India and abroad. Besides this she has an interest in giving talks in public spaces where the audience is mostly non-specialized so that the method of studying religion may not only have a wider reach but she in turn encounters issues of faith and belief which she hopes enriches her work.“ |
