In 2017, the Life Enrichment Cell (LEC) of R. A. Poddar College of Commerce and Economics had invited Chinmaya Mission Mahima Zone to conduct a certification course based on Swami Swaroopananda’s book, Storm to Perform. Based on excellent student feedback, we were invited again this year to conduct the same program. The inauguration of the program was on 11th August by the Principal, Ms. Shobana Vasudevan. She talked about her objective of making the students better human beings and better citizens of India. She stressed on strengthening the inner self to brave all storms of life. Anamika Chakravarty represented Chinmaya Mission and spoke about the program’s objective of increasing the standard of life along with the standard of living. More than a hundred students have registered for this voluntary program. The faculty of the program includes Chandrika Vora, Trupti Vyas and Archana Natraj. We are grateful to Prof. Amitha Saigal, the head of LEC, for reaching out to us.
As part of the program we are also doing a daily Happiness Enhancing Program on Instagram. This involves a Kindness Challenge for three days of the week and an Inspirational Quote for two days. In addition, we plan to have the following interactions:
* Interactive 2-hour session with students conducted by Aravind, Deepak and other Chyks
* Talk on Handling Peer Pressure on World Mental Health day by Sunitha Shankar
* Session on Creating a Vision Board for 2019 by Anamika Chakravarty
* Talk on Managing the New Millennial for parents by Sunitha Shankar
