Best Practice 2: VBAG (Vivekananda, Basavanna, Ambedkar, Gandhi) Virtues

Objectives

To familiarize the students towards the lives and messages of the four great leaders.
To motivate students to instil their values and to propagate the same.

The Context

Learning and Leadership are indispensable to each other. It becomes all the more easier for one to inculcate the ideologies of a great leader when one knows about or studies a Leader’s life. Through the four Study Centres: VBAG (Vivekananda, Basavanna, Ambedkar, Gandhi) we aim to disseminate the virtues and ideologies of these great leaders. All the four personalities have been leaders of world repute and have contributed to enrich the lives of people of their societies. The Institution believes in creating leaders who would follow the ideologies of these leaders to create an equitable society.

The Practice

The four Study Centres VBAG (Vivekananda, Basavanna, Ambedkar, Gandhi) have been proactive to conduct various awareness programs for the students. The Gandhian Study Centre organizes exams about Gandhiji and every year students take the exams, wherein an effort is made to spread the message about the life and ideologies of Gandhiji. Students are made to visit Ramakrishna Ashram every year in order to attend discourses about the life and values of Swami Vivekananda. They are also made to visit Ramakrishna Matts at different places where they attend sessions on Personality Development and Character Building. Ambedkar and Basava Study Centres also conduct various programs to proliferate messages about the lives and ideologies of Dr. BR Ambedkar and Basavanna. A series of online lecture sessions by students ‘SALTBO’: Study A Leader To Become One were organized by the Study Centres where the students presented papers on various topics related to the four great personalities. These sessions were handled by students where every class made groups to do the presentation and made all the arrangements to present the topics. The class teachers guided and facilitated the students to do their best. The papers presented by students have been published in a book bearing the ISBN No. 978-93-340-3743-2. Through the Study Centres a platform is provided to students to build various leadership skills like communication, writing, confidence building, managing etc.
