Patiala Khalsa College students visit Punjab Legislative Assembly
Patiala, October 31 The course has been started with the focus to create transformational and versatile leaders. College principal Dr Dharminder Singh Ubha emphasised the need of organising such visits as it was the part of the curriculum and helps to enhance the leadership skills of the students. He also ensured that such visits will be organised in the near future. Sandeep Saini, CR, Master of Leadership Development, expressed his thanks towards the college management for organising such visits. He informed that various bills were proposed and the debate on the issues was worth seeing, as both the ruling and opposition parties were fully prepared for the discussion. It gave exposure to the fact that one needs to be fully aware, well prepared, alert,
and efficient in communication skills, to be an energetic and transformational leader. Students keenly observed the code of
conduct and the functioning of the legislative assembly. They were highly motivated by the energetic, vigilant and focused style of leadership of Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal, who regularly put forward his viewpoint in a very refined and intelligent manner, proving the saying that ‘age is just a number’. On the other side,
the enthusiastic and active approach of youth icon, Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy CM, Punjab, fascinated the students and they were made to realise that one could do anything if one has a strong will and determination. “The visit was indeed an enriching experience not only for the students
but the faculty as well. It gave an insight into the nitty-gritty of the legislative process and it was a value addition for the MLD students to see the present crop of leaders in action,” said Prof Komaldeep Kaur. |
