The first session was started at 9:30 am in which the Resource person was Prof. Y.L Grover, Director General Management Research Institute, New Delhi. The discussion topic was “Personality” Respectable sir gave a very beautiful description of personality. He said Personality is a blend of covert and overt behaviour. One should always be willing to change himself if it is for the sake of good for you as well as for others. As a part of the society the person is given the liberty to shape his/her personality but for the sake of social acceptance (as man is a social animal) one should make essential changes in his/her personality. He also emphasized that one should look about the positive side of life. Respectable sir also discussed the desirable inner and outer traits of a developed personality. The basic idea lies that “If we wish we can change ourselves”
The second session started at 11:30 a.m. In the second session also Prof. Y.L. Grover was with us as a Resource Person and in this session he discussed on the topic of ‘Interpersonal Effectiveness’. He clarified the meaning of Interpersonal Effectiveness and its purpose as it is interaction with people in such a manner so that we can have change in our personality and can develop our personality. He also discussed one of the technique of measuring “Interpersonal Effectiveness” called “Transactional Analysis”. In this he discussed about the concept of Transactional Analysis in 3 parts:- 1. Parent Ego State (more judgmental, evaluative, moralizing) 2. Adult Ego State (Reasoning, thinking, logical qualities) 3. Child Ego State ( life as it is felt by us) He emphasized that one should not make his personality judgmental, evaluative, moralizing all the time. Keep it in your personality at a minimal level. The Adult Ego state (state of reasoning, facts and logic) must go up in our personality means that it should make up large part of our personality. But one must have fairly large child ego state (life as it is felt by us) in his/her personality. He also discussed the life positions and types of Transactions which takes place during the life positions. So many lighter moments came in the session, which made the whole discussion very much interesting. He said child in ourself must remain and we should never let him die. Be positive in life. Adopt the positive attitude. Make your personality interactive. One must try to learn, live and work with each other people, so try to be social and outgoing.

On the 6th day of the 52nd Orientation Course in the first session discussion were held on the Problematic of Culture in Haryana by Dr. D.R. Chaudhary, Retd. Lecturer, from Dayal Singh College, University of Delhi and an active representative of various forum in Haryana. The discussion was held particularly in the context of Haryana and in the beginning the awareness was provided that where the people of Haryana do stands? Arts and Culture flourish before or even by the development of technology as in case of Caves of Ajanta and Alora. In Haryana the infrastructure has developed a lot as we see in education, health services, network of roads and many other sectors. But the development of culture did not happen as expected from a developed society. As a result of it a gap between culture and economic growth were found. The evidence in this context were that all those instruments which enrich culture were evinced in Haryana, Theatre Group except 'Swang' and 'off scene ragni' competitions were there, literary and cultural organisations were not there, there was no film industry, Arts gallery and Museum were not there except at Kurukshetra, Gurgaon and Panchkula. Even the Culture Department, which was present earlier were closed. It might be due to invasions by Muslims, Afgans, Huns etc. who pass through Haryana to conquer Delhi; destroyed Agra and looted the culture of Haryana to a great extent. There was no great reform movement; great thinkers were not there, metropolitan city doesn't develop in Haryana apart from this some abstract things as sense of belongingness, statehood, does not develop among the people of Haryana. Opportunism developed among the people of Haryana. Haryana was broken and given to adjoining states when the people of Haryana participate in freedom movement. Therefore, every effort to develop culture must be encouraged. State must act as a patron of its cultural development; Government has to take initiative to enrich our culture, theatre group, arts gallery, museum must have to be established, literary activities must be encouraged. Dr. D.R. Chaudhary, in the second session have lively discussion on one of the social issue affecting Haryana i.e. Khap Panchayats and we, the teachers must be aware of it. Now a days this issue symbolises at times an event of cultural backwardness. Its origin was in medieval times when law and order were not there, deep sense of insecurity were there among the people. Therefore, a system of Khap Panchayats emerged to provide security to the people. Revolt of 1857 was also influenced by it. Earlier brotherhood was the basis of maintenance of Khap Panchayats, coercive decisions were not taken at that time, sometimes social boycott were there. Nowadays there is a conflict between modernity and tradition. Thinking, value systems are symbol of modernity and every individual must have to be judged on the basis of performance and achievement. Most affected by the wrong decisions of Khap Panchayats are women, poor and people from lower castes. If we have to progress we have to enroot these social evils. Honour killings must have to be stopped; modern panchayats haveing representative from every section of the society must have to be made, which is more meaningful. Khap Panchayats must have to raise some other issues that will affect our society in long run as issues related to excess use of alcohol, drugs, ignorance etc. The need of hour is to look into the practical difficulty that people are facing and need is to make these Pachayats to have a democratic attitude and to make them more meaningful. The people have to be provided with better education, transport and communication facilities in the changing global scenario. The people have to follow and respect our constitution. They have to develop courage to abolish cultural backwardness. Feudal and semi feudal thinking is to be stopped. There is a need of cultural renaissance, building of institutions and a battle of ideas. In the evening session lecture was delivered by Dr. M.S. Jaglan, Chairman, Department of Geography, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra on one of the most important issue that is affecting or will affect the existence of mankind. The talk was held on the topic Global warming and its impact on earth's systems. The presentations were systematic and scientific one. The participants were informed that climate keeps on changing and it's not a stagnant entity. There is an increase in the global temperature due to green house effect. The increase is there due to increase in the concentration of Green House Gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide, Chloro Floro Carbons, methane, nitrous oxide etc. Carbon dioxide affects the green house most as by burning of fossil fuels (coal, petroleum and natural gas). Chloro floro carbons deplete our ozone layer it was mainly used in refrigeration, aerosol, and foam blowing. Montreal protocol 1987 advocates that CFC's has to be replaced by HCFC. Methane is seen as one of the most important contributor in developing countries as in South Asian its sources are rice cultivation, animal rearing, biomass burning, coal mining and natural gas flaring. Other important factor is N20 (Nitrous oxide) due to degradation of tropical grasslands, application of chemical fertilizers etc. After this trends in global warming were given followed by depiction of non-thermal sources of warming. Predictions and future trends were given in very meticulous way as increase in temperature increase in evaporation> (water vapour/GH effect» warming, warming of ocean> release of CO2> further warming. The impact of global warming was elaborated by showing photographs. Global warming will cause sea level rise, thermal expansion and melting of snow, agro-ecological conditions will be changed, cropping season will be longer in higher latitude, fertilising effects of increase of carbon dioxide, yield of most crop will decline in USA, Europe, Russia, Australia and Japan. The ecosystems will be changed; migration of natural vegetation animals to higher altitued and latitude will take place. Degradation of boreal forest and temperate grassland will took place and tropical disease will spread as malaria, sun stroke and dehydration. So, the need is to sensitise the masses and we, the teachers, have to inform the youths, the future builders of nation. Dated 22.02.2008 Day-8
