The Students’ Council of VVM’s Shree Damodar College of Commerce & Economics in association with M.R. Pai Foundation and the Forum of Free Enterprise, Mumbai organized a Leadership Training Camp in memory of the late M.R. Pai on 29th -30th June 2018.
The M.R. Pai Foundation was set up in 2004 to perpetuate the memory of an outstanding citizen and consumer activist. During his lifetime Mr. M.R. Pai had come to the rescue of thousands of consumers in the country, particularly bank depositors and telephone subscribers. Besides, the late Mr. Pai actively encouraged the youth and firmly believed in helping them to become good, active, responsible and well-informed citizens of the future.
It is important for students to experience leadership opportunities during their College years, so that they learn the art of building relationships within teams, defining identities and achieving tasks effectively. The Leadership camp emphasized on motivating, influencing and directing students; so that they work together to achieve the goals of a team. It also provided an opportunity to learn to identify and display effective communication and interpersonal skills.
During the two-day camp, the students participated in practical sessions on topics such as Setting & Achieving Goals, Sharpening Vital Skills, The Power of Habits, Effective Communication, Coming together – A beginning, Understanding Self & Others. The sessions were conducted by Mr. Rajiv Luv and Ms. Clarissa Jathanna from the M.R. Pai Foundation.
A total of 64 students from the B.Com, BBA(FS) and BCA programmes attended the camp. It was a fruitful camp wherein the students got an opportunity to identify and understand their strengths and implement leadership skills in different contexts.
