REPORT ON INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP WITH MR. BHATTACHARYA

G G International School believes in equipping its student and mentoring fraternity with the latest tools to strengthen the teaching learning process. With this motive in view the students attended a workshop on 25^th November for the students of class IX to XII by Mr. Bhattacharya, Principal of Sanskriti College Eta, UP.

The objective of the workshop was to help students to handle emotional stress and also how to motivate themselves towards better academics and career.

The workshop was very interactive having simple question and answer session rather than just a long speech. Students enthusiastically took part and he really made them thing very basic things which we normally take very casually without understanding the purpose such as: Why do we study? What is the harm of technological dependence? Why animals do not need any training and how do they differ from human being.

He taught them how to tackle with the everyday problem. He made the students to promise that they would always keep three basic things such as-Target to score above 90 %, to do a physical exercise at least one hour everyday and not to use internet for more than an hour a day.

It was indeed a highly motivational exercise which would definitely help children to learn and change the perspective towards studies, career, and life.

                                                                              

                                     

           

A motivational speech was gives by Mr. Bhattacharya, Principal of Sanskrit School. It all started with a simple question, "Who would like to have a chip for various subjects inserted in the brains rather than studying books?" And a majority, obviously, raised their hands. But he said that by doing so, there will be no understanding of the topic.

   

                                

He also explained the difference between Information and Knowledge. Information keeps changing and is not of much importance in peoples' lives like knowing the President of Yugoslavia. But, on the other hand, Knowledge never changes and is normally based on facts like the earth is round.

He further questioned who all wanted a 90% in their studies and again a majority raised their hands to which he explained that this can be achieved if there is 100% confidence and determination in the heart. This goal can be achieved by giving at least 2 hours for studies and 1 hour for physical activities as it improves blood circulation.

                                   

A very interesting story about an Eel was told to the students. Eels are mostly concentrated in Europe and America. But when it is their breeding time, they all meet in the Bermuda triangle. Here, they lay eggs and die. After maturing these young eels trace back the path from where their parents had come. This is an inborn capacity of eels. I would like to conclude by saying that each organism has been given sufficient knowledge for its survival. And no extra information about anything is required. One just needs to believe in oneself and achieve the goals.

Students shared a few inspirational moments with him and learned a lot.  They thank Principal Sir and the school management for exposing them to such a personality whose words of inspiration would enhance their personality.
