A three- day residential workshop on Transforming India concluded at Tapovan Kutir in Uttarkashi for the teaching faculty members of Chinmaya Degree College Haridwar. A group of 27 people from the teaching fraternity attended the workshop under Chinmaya Vision Programme, the organisers claimed. During the workshop, team building exercise through basketball ring balancing was also held apart from brainstorming sessions. On the concluding day, excursions to Kashi Vishwanath temple and Ganga Darshan were organised.
Chairman, Chinmaya Education Society, Rakesh Sachdeva said that the motive behind such workshops was to motivate the teachers so that they can motivate the students in their turn.
Zonal director of CCMT cell and resident director Chimaya International School, Swami Anukoolananda said that patriotism has waned and fault finding has increased among students at present which needs to be checked by giving value- based education.
Academic administrator of CCMT Meena Sriram said that the vision of education is missing in today’s times. She guided the lecturers of Chinmaya Degree College through various presentations on how patriotism, Indian culture and universal outlook must be included in every lecture in class by the teacher even if it is science or commerce college.
The resident Acharya of Tapovan Kutir Swami Devatmananda emphasised on the importance of values in human life and in education. He exhorted the participants to bring back a positive change in the students through their lectures in classrooms.
College principal Alok Agarwal also shared his experiences during the workshop.
