Personality Development Courses At Colleges Soon

by under Personality Development Courses

Students of government colleges in the city can expect a pleasant change in the new year. In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Chandigarh Administration is all set to introduce a 60-hour programme in personal development in all colleges in the city.

The faculty at the Regional Institute of English has designed a full programme and several modules to teach oral communication and other skills in the English Language. A brain child of Director (Higher Education) Ajoy Sharma, the programme aims at putting a cap on the mushrooming commercial institutes offering International English Language Testing System (IELTS) preparation and personality development programmes.

Talking to Newsline, Sharma said: “We have talented faculty in our colleges which can train students in personality development, so why let these shops earn profit at our expense? This is just the beginning; we intend to go a long way in implementing changes in the higher education system.” The add-on will begin in colleges by the second week of January.

RIE Director Dr Sharda Kaushik said: “The module on group discussion and interview preparation would be really beneficial for those who wish to take up jobs soon after completing their Bachelors course. There is another module that will train students in the sphere of writing.” Stress would also be laid on pronunciation, as that is where most students lack, adds Dr Kaushik.

A pilot programme has already been launched by the institute, which has been highly appreciated by the students.

The students, meanwhile, are quite upbeat about the proposal. Nisha of GCG, Sector 11, said: “This is a wonderful proposal and I can’t wait for it to be implemented. Communication skills are really very important these days and nothing can be better than taking classes right in college. No longer will the students have to shell out thousands of rupees to private institutes.”
