Sriperumbudur (Chennai), August 29 â Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development ( RGNIYD) has organised the Training of Trainers (ToT) for the NSS Programme Officers on â Life Skills Education Programme for Adolescentsâ during 29- 30 August, 2017 at Sri Ram Chandra Medical University, Porur
Professor (Dr.) M.M. Goel, Director RGNIYD while delivering the inaugural address justified the need for understanding, analysing and interpreting the problems of adolescents and train them with life skills for inclusiveness to survive, exist and excel in times to come.
To protect the minds of adolescents from being imbued by the present state of growing intolerance and violence, we need to provide them spiritual input from Gita and Anu-Gita, said Professor Goel.
The adolescents need to be motivated to live with nothing for the self but for the others- the principle of altruism from the logo of NSS âNot Me But Youâ, told Prof. Goel
Let the adolescents be motivated to think âout of the boxâ solutions of their problems in present times of competition which is unhealthy also, believes Professor Goel who is an economist.
We have to ensure the survival of weak by making them unique by replacing the dictum of the âsurvival of the fittestâ which is a jungle raj, said Prof. Goel.
Dr .P.V. Vijayaraghavan Vice-Chancellor, Sri Ram Chandra Medical University presided over the function.
Shri C.Samuel Chelliah Regional Director NSS graced the inaugural ceremony as guest of honour.
Prof. Vasanthi Rajenderan welcomed the guests and presented saplings as part of go green initiative of RGNIYD. Ms Anbu Kavitha proposed the vote of thanks.
