The document outlines a group planning exercise in which a group of engineering students at a picnic must respond to multiple urgent situations, including rescuing a drowning couple and aiding an injured forest guard. It requires prioritization of tasks involving a theft of a temple idol and a planned train robbery. The proposed solution involves dividing the group into teams to effectively address each situation within the available time and resources.

2. • NARRATIVE
• You are a group of students (as many as you are) from Govt Engineering
college, Dilnagar. Your group had gone for a picnic to Kali Lake by the
college van. While you were planning to return to your college for Inter
College Musical Nite scheduled at 7.30 PM, one forest guard approached
your group for help. You observed that he was bleeding and limping badly.
On enquiry, he informed that he was beaten by a group of dacoits, who
were planning to steal the precious idol from Seba temple around 4 PM
and hand it over to smugglers hiding in Kasori Forest Reserve. The guard
also informed that another group had decided to loot the passanger train
between DilNagar and Sadak Pur near the Kasori Forest reserve Rail
Bridge on dhir Nadi. The Sadakpur – DilNagar passanger crosses the Dhir
Brige at about 4.30 PM. As you were contemplating you observed that a
young couple who had also come for picnic was shouting for assistance.
You turned and saw that the boat in which the young couple were sitting
was drowning and they were desperately screaming for help. You were still
in shock and trying to keep tour cool, when a fisherman came running for
help as his boat had broken her moorings and was drifting in the Kali Lake.
The time now is 3 PM. You as group of dynamic young students , how will
you handle the situation?
