British community elated at Prince William’s wedding
Mussoorie, April 28 Ollie, a British citizen living in Mussoorie, said it was, indeed, an occasion to celebrate, as the house of Windsor prepared for the big day. He, however, said he would not be able to be a part of the wedding at the West Minister Abbey, but his family members back home were planning to witness the historic occasion. Local Historian from Mussoorie Gopal Bhardwaj said the royal ceremonies had always been an event of celebration for the common citizens of England, and this was no different. He further said the British community residing in Mussoorie during the British Raj used to visit royal ceremonies to collect souvenirs distributed by the royal house on the occasion. Gopal Bhardwaj, showing one such coronation souvenir of George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth II, said they were also married at the Westminster Abbey on 26th April, 1923. This was told him by Miss Sullivan, a British nurse, who used to reside in Mussoorie and also died here. She used to tell the tales of royal ceremonies. Sullivan gifted Gopal Bhardwaj the coronation souvenir and a picture of George VI and the queen before her death, which he has preserved till date. He also said members of the royal family, when in India, made it a point to visit Mussoorie after any such ceremony, most famous being The Princess of Wales, who later went on to become Queen Mary of England. She came to Mussoorie in 1906, and on her visit to the Church she planted a Deodar tree in the courtyard. The Deodar still stands tall in front of the Christchurch building at Library. The British community in the town wished the couple a prosperous and happy married life.

CII holds outreach programme
Dehradun, April 28 Inaugurating the programme, Dr S Farooq, Chairman, CII Uttarakhand State Council, said this was the first-ever outdoor training initiative of the CII, Uttarakhand. He said since mother nature was the best teacher, training programme through outdoor activities would bring about a change in individual performances. Highlighting the benefits of the programme, Dr Farooq said the engaging nature of the programme allowed actions to flow naturally and magnified choices, attitudes, responses and their results in a manner that was conducive to an easy observation. The action-based approach also provided obvious points to initiate a change in order to create the maximum impact. “Outreach as a medium of learning through experience is an effective way of developing a corporate culture,” said Pranav Kukreti, senior trainer (Experiential Learning, Outperform), with Treks 'n Rapids Private Limited. During the introductory session of the programme, he said outreach had many advantages over traditional training interventions, the chief among which are its high enjoyment and retention of learning leading to lowered resistance to training and management initiatives. Informal atmosphere reduces barriers of formal relationships and performance anxiety. Seventeen participants from Carborundum Universal Ltd, Roorkee, participated in the programme. They were divided into teams “Tiger” and “Wild Cats”. The teams went through sweltering as well as fun activities like rappelling, spider’s web and white water rafting for enhancing team work.
