Try , try and stop not
till your goal is reached”

be a leader they set out to make a difference. Its never about the role, its always about the goal. Leadership

investigation Wing, Coimbatore oriented the participants on the topic “Women
under the Clutches of Cyber-Crime”. Being girls in this technological era,
cyber crime becomes the topic of much relevance and need. So it is imperative
that the young girls should be aware of the concept of cyber-crime all because
of social networking. She with her crew explained the crime against women, ATM
frauds, malpractices in networks, cyber stalking and images morphing and other ill effects of extreme usage of
technology. She very well advised the student teachers to be vigilant while
having networking with friends especially male guys. The students showed much
interest in visualising some video clips shown by Mrs. Geetha regarding Cyber
Crime. As future leaders, they should know this concept so as to equip their
future clients. The guidance of the Inspector and her team directed the
observant students on how to be cautious and shrewd on the social media. The students
were educated on how to rescue the victims from the issues. Totally, the session served as an eye opener for the
prospective teachers who are going to mould the life of future citizens.

The
next session was handled by Dr.Rymala Mathen, Chief Coordinator, Entrepreneur
Development Cell, School of Engineering, Avinashilingam Deemed University. She
oriented the students on “Developing Entrepreneurship Skills”. She explained
“Entrepreneurship is the creative and innovative response to the environment,
which can take place in variety of social endeavour – business, industry,
agriculture, education, social work and the like and it is the potent limiting
factor in economic development. She dealt with the various other components
namely what are the characteristics of Entrepreneurship, what are the
advantages of it, different ways to become an Entrepreneur, what are the
possible constraints that may be faced by an Entrepreneur and the challenges to
become a skilled Entrepreneur. She highly encouraged the students that they
should not be loosing heart if any challenge comes in their effort to become an
Entrepreneur. “Effort, Efforts, Efforts”- this should be their life style. Then
only they can obtain success as a leader” . The student teachers were highly
motivated by her effective words.
After her oral
presentation, she divided them into various groups and gave them activities.
She asked them what they wanted to be and asked them to imagine as an
entrepreneur and execute their task. The student teachers knitted in various
activities that developed the innovative skills and creativity along with the
entrepreneurship skills.
It was very interesting to observe the student
teachers acting as the entrepreneurs and feeling very delighted and fulfilled
when the future teachers have the novel idea of becoming an entrepreneur in
various fields like establishing a school for normal children as well as
special children, opening a tailoring unit, tuition centres, tutorial centres,
centre for tourism, counselling centre, establishing voluntary service centres
to uplift the society in the form of social work and so on. It was so thrilled
to hear the report of the various groups having different ideas. The session

teachers were very interactive and innovative. The session was successfully
completed with full accomplishments.

interesting manner through a video which created awareness about their service
facilities. The student teachers were dumb bounded seeing the video and realised
the importance of 108 Ambulance Service and First Aid which a good leader

efficient rescuer and was filled with lots of interrogations and inquiries for
further clarification from the students.
Session VIII
“Our body is the only medicine for all types of disease. It does not require
any chemical medicines”. Session VIII was started with this statement by
Dr. Jamunarani Durairaj, Acupuncture
Physician and Counselling Psychologist, Ooty who gave an interesting talk on
“Our body is the Doctor” after the session on 108 Ambulance service. She gave a clear picture of our body which
can also act itself as a doctor. If our body gets any illness, it does not
require any medicine. Our immune system will cure that disease. She also explained
the side effects of medicines which are prepared from the chemicals. She
made the statement “ the creator is within the creator”. She also focused on
the “4 Rs” of the body like Recharge, Resist, Removers and Repairs. She emphasised the necessity of 8
hours sleep per day. The student teachers were very much enthusiastic since the

Function

some students both in Tamil and English . In their feedback, the students
expressed their gratitude for having arranged such a wonderful leadership camp
in which they had a very good exposure both theoretically and practically to
the topics of much relevance to them when they go to the outside world. They
were very much impressed by the way it was organised, hospitality extended and
the care taken for the students.
After the student teachers gave their
feedback, Dr. Raja, Director, Self-finance courses of our university in his
valedictory address motivated the student teachers by quoting the examples of
great leaders of our country who exhibited the great leadership qualities by
example giving stories that happened in
their life. He also shared his own experiences. After his inspiring speech, the
Organiser, Dr. Chandravathana presented
the vote of thanks in which she thanked
the authorities for having permitted to conduct the camp, sanctioned the
finance and for giving valuable suggestions to conduct the camp in a successful
manner. She also expressed her heartfelt thanks to the Dean, School of

extended all sorts of help in times of need. She did not forget to thank Ms. A.
Suryalatha , a faculty member and organiser who has been the part and parcel of
the camp from the day of planning to the last minute of the valedictory
function. She expressed her thanks to Mrs. Deepa Anand, a faculty member for
having extended a helping hand in conducting the camp. The three days’ camp came
to an end by singing National Anthem
Field Trip is always part and
parcel of any Camp. So a Field Trip to Isha Yoga Centre, Boluwampatti, Coimbatore
was planned for the student teachers, by the Orgainsers Dr.M.Chandravathana and
Ms.A.Suryalatha on 19th September, 2018. All the preliminary
arrangements were made by the Organisers. The student teachers felt very happy
that they were going to visit an important centre of global importance.
On the day of the visit, all the student teachers assembled in front of
the School of Education and boarded the buses at 8.30 a.m. The buses reached
the destination after travelling more than one and half hours. They were excited to go round the Yoga Centre
which is spread over a vast area having Adi Yogi statue which has been recognized by the Guinness World
Records as the "Largest Bust Sculpture” in the world. Designed by Sadhguru Jaggi
Vasudev, founder of the Isha Foundation, it was built by the foundation and weighs around 500
tonnes. Sadhguru said that the statue is for inspiring and promoting yoga, and is named Adiyogi, which means
"the first yogi", because Shiva is known as the originator of yoga.
Sitting for a while in front of
Dyanalinga, the Meditation Machine established by Sadhguru creates vibration in
the minds of every one. The Divine pool has a Sivan statue in which the
interested individuals take bath. The solemn Bairavi temple gives us divinity.
Totally the students were thrilled to go round
the Isha Yoga Centre and had a new wonderful experience. They enjoyed and found the field trip meaningful and
useful one. At 4’o clock, all the teachers with the students returned with full
satisfaction of having visited a place of world importance.
To conclude,
the student teachers had a wonderful experience during these three days Camp
and enjoyed their field trip in a fruitful manner.
