For participants theory is important. Philosophy is important. Vision also is important. But more than anything and everything 'implementation-readiness' is much more important. The two-day visit to Ahmednagar district provided the participants with the spirit of 'Situational Leadership'. Participants realized that leadership is not simply a matter of conversation. It is a matter of commitment to bring about change in LIFE!
