Personality
Development and Life Skills(PDLS) Capsule for NCC Officers
In one of our recent workshop held at the Officers Training
Academy in Gwalior in which the team "The Transformers Value
Creators" had facilitated a 2 days PDLS (Personality Development and Life
Skills) capsule for the NCC Officers as a part of their refresher course.
This 2 days workshop included a group of 118 NCC
officers in the average age group of 43 years and with an experience ranging from
10 to 25 years. Hence it was all together a very senior group of some of the
most seasoned professionals.
Accordingly the PDLS workshop was planned in a way to
add more value to the rich experience and technical expertise of these senior
NCC Officers.
Day 1 was primarily all about self introspection along
with self realization about one's potential, strengths and areas of improvement
as a woman, as a NCC Officer and then being the ambassador of NCC.
Through number of interactive sessions, brainstorming,
group discussions and many other simulative exercises and fun games some very
crucial aspects and essential thoughts were provoked and promoted inclusive of
:
- Role of women in all spheres of
life.
- Sensitization on importance of
Indian women and their significant contributions.
- Sensitization on the crucial aspect
of the need for the girls to be educated.
- Involve the participants in some
daring acts so as to help them reflect deeper in their lives from being a girl
to growing up as a woman.
- Boost the morale of the ANO's by
making them believe that can do everything and excel in any sphere.
- Self reflections and self
introspection to understand their strengths as an ANO.
- Sensitize the ANO's with their
responsibilities along with mutual understanding of other's point of view.
- Work on the ways for how to promote
and instil the real essence of NCC.
- Practical ways to work in the
direction of promoting NCC principles and work as per the guidelines.
- Have a deeper understanding of the essentials of being more planned, organized, proactive and well managed.
Day 2 was more about the connect between the NCC
Officers and their cadets so as to facilitate them working together in harmony
for the nations 'progress.
In the same direction, through some more of
experiential learning and outdoor sessions, sense of responsibility was instilled
deeper amongst the NCC officers towards their cadets, respective educational
institute, relevant army unit and all together towards the nation, based upon
the following objectives:
- Sensitization of the gap existing
in one's personality or way of dealing with people and situations due to lack
of emotional intelligence.
- Why emotionally intelligent people are always preferred over others and
highlight the very aspect of "conduct is more important than
capability"
- Practical ways of instilling socio
emotional learning amongst the ANO's and further within their cadets.
- Through different fun exercises
help individuals work on the essential skills of self awareness, self
management, decision making skills, relationship skills and social awareness.
- Sensitization of the need and the
ways to promote the spirit of Nationalism amongst the youth and ways of working
for the progress and development of the nation.
Finally the 2 days of the PDLS capsule concluded with
some of the most enticing and captivating performances by the very versatile
and multitalented NCC Officers in forms of poetry, songs, role plays and even
dance performances to present their 2 days of learning in more creative and
impressive ways. All together it was a great learning and absolutely enriching
experience for all the NCC Officers and their facilitators which could be felt
and realized stronger in the enthusiasm and wholehearted participation of all
the very experienced and most competent Officers.
