certain hobbies or skills, learning fine etiquettes and manners, adding style and grace to the way

one looks, talks and walks and overall imbibing oneself with positivity, liveliness and peace.

Personality development is gaining more and more importance because it enables people to create a good

impression about themselves on others; it helps them to build and develop relationships, helps in your

career growth and also helps to improve your financial needs. After all, personality development is

nothing but a tool that helps you realize your capabilities and your strengths making you a stronger, a

happier and a cheerful person. A personality development programme was organized from

December,2015 - February,2016 for 314 students of our college in 4 batches in order to enrich their

skills, learning capacity and potentialities. This programme was handled by The Career Academy,

4. Gandhian Studies in the Curriculum Foundation Course

Gandhi and his teachings are today assuming new dimensions of meaning and relevance. The

dynamic nature of Gandhian thoughts and practices is leading the whole thing to a new level of

acceptance by the world community. Gandhism is thus evolving into an integrated and

comprehensive discipline because of the great scope it offers for application to a variety of field

of knowledge, have the new term Gandhian Studies is primarily an integrated ,multi-pronged

approach to present Gandhi to the world on the one hand and on the other, know Gandhi ever

deeper with reference to the problems in India in particular and the world at large are facing.

The main aim of Gandhian studies therefore is to provide full scope in understanding Gandhiji.

Keeping this in mind, our institution has decided to include Gandhian Studies in the curriculum in order

to develop an individual student and through him the society which proved our institution education

system is a value leaded and not only a academic oriented. The duration of the programme was from July,

2015 - October,2015. The number of students opted this programme was 750. It is concluded that for the

present generation more knowledge on Gandhian values and thoughts should be imparted by introducing

this Gandhian studies in the curriculum from the school level to colleges / university level. We all should

understand the fact that though Gandhiji, is not with us, Gandhism should be with us which may help to

combat the evils of globalization high external dependency, violence, atrocities and poverty. It is important

to point out that efforts should be taken to impart more knowledge on Gandhian principles, values and

thoughts which would pave the path for sustainable development for generations to come with fruitful

environment and also to enhance peace and value based society.
