Aim

To revive the students group by the objective of creating and promoting a common platform between students and teachers interaction to increase awareness of the self and the world around us.

Introduction

As it is now being realised as an indispensable fact by modern academia, the domain of growth for any individual should be a well-balanced craft of competence and character. Technical education without ethical and moral education is like a ship without a rudder. This is very much evident from the undeniable fact that many good students coming to receive education in prestigious institutions like ours, actually end up in self-destructive bad habits and activities, which rather gulps up their chances of a bright future & career. In these formative years of life, any such addiction or habit simply ends up in a bitter struggle against low self-confidence, depression, guilt, lack of self-worth, disinterest etc in the later part of life.

This raises a vital demand for a forum which will serve as the base for ethical and moral awareness & education among the students. And the pedagogy followed should be different from the regular classroom programs to arouse more interest and curiosity among the students. Therefore, it would be a remarkable initiative to form a group which would actively participate and promote the mentioned purpose through organisation of interactive discussions, workshops, guest lectures, college level competitions, group discussions, and soft skills workshops.

Areas of Focus / Discussions

1. Psychology – dealing with harnessing positive thoughts and learning mind control

2. Sociology – understanding the societal functions and associated threats and opportunities.

3. Philosophy – learning fundamental problems connected to life, values and ethics.

4. Present/past affairs – to provoke ideas and thoughts for leading a better life.

5. Personality study – a brief study about stalwart people will help students get an insight of how one can be successful; and qualities one should possess to attain their individual goals.
6. Patriotism – To inculcate the patriotism and importance of Indian culture and heritage among students.

Activities to be Pursued

1. Group assembly: Friendship can make wonders happen, so there will be periodic group meets to have interactive discussions on relevant topics.
2. Guest lectures/Workshops: Inviting professors, speakers, alumni and professionals to help students improve their concentration, self-confidence, leadership and problem solving.
3. Play: Organising trips, games, debates, youth festivals, music and meditation as a means of positive engagement of our skills.
