INTRODUCTION : The teaching – learning process in schools generally focus on developing knowledge and skills in children for scoring high marks in the examinations. However, high academic performance doesn’t guarantee success in life. Often we find that students who were not school toppers prove to be a much greater success than those who were considered ‘brilliant’ by the teachers.
This point to the fact that there are quite a few other attributes / qualities that are required in an individual to become successful and make a mark for him / her in life. Over & above the academic brilliance, it is your total personality, your outlook towards the life & others that is going to count.
This training programme has been carefully designed to acquaint and train participants in improvement of various personal and inter-personal skills/qualities like interactive communication skills, self-discovery and objective analysis to yield better understanding in studies and the world around you.

 

OBJECTIVES :

l To enhance personal effectiveness through communication.
l To overcome inhibitions in communicating to people.
l To understand and implement effective interpersonal skills.
l To project your personality better in front of others.
l To be always positive, confident and self-motivated under any circumstances.
