Seminor Indian Learners own Academy

The first seminar for the students in the academic year 2014-15 was held on 20^th May 2014 {Tuesday}. This seminar was addressed by Brig. Sushil Bhasin in school auditorium for classes VII-XI. It was a great delight for students to attend this seminar. The Literary Secretary Karan Sanal, of Class-IX introduced the Chief Guest and the Principal Mrs. Asha Sharma honored him with a gift and a bouquet. Mr. Sushil Bhasin has served in the army for 37 years and after retirement. He shifted his focus to his old dream of making a difference to others lives, when he had an inner call.

           Mr. Sushil Bhasin is an eloquent orator. He introduced the students to a game in which each one of them were asked to participate. They had to pass juggling rings to one another without it touching the ground and without using our thumbs. They were divided into groups according to our houses {i.e. Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Space}. The idea behind this activity was to apprise students with the fact that we often underestimate ourselves and with practice and precision anything can be achieved.

Students were also made aware of a new acronym-IALAC i.e. I AM LOVEABLE AND CAPABLE that helped students to accept and appreciate themselves. All the students enjoyed the session a lot and they even learnt a few skills of life, like working in a team with a healthy team spirit, developing positive thinking, and managing time adequately, accepting ourselves as we are and others too, learning from their past experiences etc.

At the end of the session Mr. Sunil Bhasil asked each student to give a feedback of the seminar on a sheet of paper. Finally, the cultural sectary Meenakshi Sreekumar of Class-IX expressed her gratitude towards the Chief Guest with a vote of thanks.
