I.T.S College of Pharmacy organized an 8-day Induction Program from 21st to 28th January 2018 for B.Pharm first year students. This program was conducted under the guidelines of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow to fulfill the AICTE mandate. The objective of the program was to draw attention towards the problems and challenges being faced by the students at individual, family, society and environmental levels and techniques to handle them. Issues related to the happiness, welfare, aspirations, goals and success in life were explored and dealt with.
The program started at 6 a.m. every day with yoga & physical activities. On the first day, the coordinator Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma (Assoc. Prof.) explained the purpose of Induction program and to be positive in all circumstances, Ms. Madhu Verma (Asst. Prof.) gave a lecture about the institute and Pharmacy field to the students, followed by motivational lecture delivered by Ms. Rachna Kakkar (Counsellor) to motivate the students. Dr. S. Sadish Kumar (Director) interacted with the students during the program.
Our trained faculty mentors viz. Mr. Prasoon Kumar Saxena, Ms. Smriti Sahu, Ms. Neelam Singh, Ms. Nidhi Tyagi and Ms. Anandi Kapri (Asst. Professors.) explained the students about human values during Universal Human Value lectures. The students learnt about self, physical facilities, right understanding, relationship, trust and four levels of harmony, i.e. individual level, family level, society level and nature level. The students explored their self and learnt about natural acceptance, which is essentially required to live in harmony with others. The faculty mentors covered all 12 lectures of Universal Human Values in the 8-day program.
The students participated in painting, singing, dancing activities in the creative arts session. They cleared their problems in the subjects of Maths, Physics and Chemistry in the proficiency module session. There was an informal interaction with hostellers by faculty mentors every day after the dinner. The session ended at 9.30 p.m. every day.
The Coordinator and 5 faculty mentors were assisted by other faculty and staff members of the college to conduct the program effectively. On the last day, feedback & self evaluation session was organised followed by hospital visit.
