Leading the Leaders
By Saniya Surana
The leadership programme, an endeavour of the Global Education and Leadership Foundation (tGELF) has been introduced in the PSBB school curriculum for the students of std. IX.
The students are given training to develop skills, essential for effective leadership like creative and lateral thinking, analysis, problem solving etc.
This year’s sessions spanned over the entire academic year, have helped the students understand the deeper meaning of leadership and identify the leaders in themselves which was non-existent to them, a year ago. Strong values like tolerance, discipline, integrity, faith, humility and honesty have been imbibed through various activities in the twelve sessions conducted.
This programme has been helpful to the students for developing positive attitude and also skills specific to leadership like logical thinking, tact, discernment, decisiveness, and most importantly stress and time management, an essential skill for one’s success in today’s world.
Continuous assessments and monitoring by the specially trained teachers will identify potential young leaders and these students, rather leaders, will be awarded the tGELF scholarship, to complete their studies anywhere in the world.
At the end of this year’s programme eight students were awarded a Gold Medal for their commendable abilities and performance through the year. They are: Saniya Surana, Amrith Bhargav, Ekta Kapoor, Chandana Seshadri, R.Praveen, Shrishti Saini, and Madhavi.
In short, the leadership initiative of the Nand and Jeet Khemka Foundation introduced at PSBB School, Nungambakkam, aligned with the school calendar and syllabi is highly beneficial for the leaders of tomorrow.
