When we speak of Swamiji as 'the Great Innovator of Management Values', we must remember that during Swamiji's time the science of management did not exist. Generally management is nothing but organized common sense, and that is from time immemorial. When nations became industrialized and new markets and products were discovered, industries and companies grew and exploited labour; tycoons and powerful politicians started making the rules and therefore money. The science of management started only after the World War I. It first went into organizing labour, work measurement, work study, production, and productivity. Then slowly other departments came up. Peter Drucker in The Best of Peter Drucker says, "We made a mistake, I do not know from why and where, from 1930 we started making a mistake that equating management with only business management, but business management is only one part of the management." Latest Management techniques like 'values-based management' that we know, Swamiji unconsciously practised them told by Dr Monika Sethi,Head School of Commerce, Management and Research. She said through this competition the important leadership qualities will be presented to congregation and the best presenter will be awarded.

Education is the key to everything. It is the key to peace and democratic stability, to jobs and economic growth, to good health, to respect and harmony between different genders, faiths, ethnic groups and communities. It is the key to billions of unique human beings fulfilling their unique potential. I understand that Teachers' Day celebrations are held all over the country to honour all teachers, and to express gratitude to them for their dedicated service to the nation. Teachers' Day is the ideal way of telling teachers that we are thankful for their presence in our society.

It is my belief that teachers are creative, talented people; teachers respond very positively when they are respected and included in the decision-making integral to their work in the classroom or lecture theatre. They gain a sense of ownership over their work when they are involved in the development of the curriculum, designing detailed syllabuses and assessment schemes, making and selecting the teaching materials, and involved in training programmes leading to their own intellectual and professional development.

Dr Monika Sethi reminded the contribution of Dr Sarvapally Radhakrishnan who is well known for his dedication and belongingness to nation and his teachings. He is known as second president of Republic India who is profound philosopher,statesman and educationalist of exceptional stature In fact, Teachers day commemorates the memory of Dr. Radhakrishnan and his notable contributions to the cause of education. This day also recall and acknowledge the immense contributions of countless teachers of our nation.Addressing the student on this special day she said the word "teacher" is the noun form of the verb "teach". The word "teach" derives from the Old English word t�can which means to show, point out, or give instruction. In 1290, the word teacher began to be used for the index finger, or "one that points out". By 1300, it took on its modern meaning, or "one who teaches".

Therefore, a teacher?s role is a torch bearer and pivot of any educational system of younger students. On him rests the failure or the success of the system. If the teachers are well educated and if they are intellectually alive and take keen interest in their responsibility, then only the success is ensured. Teaching, in fact, is not a job, it is an attitude. Teach er is a source of information, a guide, a mentor, a motivator, all at the same time.

She narrated numerous example and anecdote where she explained the role of role of teacher in carving student's learning and developing them holistically. She urged all the students to respect their teacher and their teachings. she concluded with the tribute of great teacher Einstein to the teacher, Quote

The ideals which have lighted my way, time after time, have given new course to face life cheerfully have been kindness, beauty and truth.?

During this occassion students presented various colourful events to pay tribute to noble laurete Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and feliciated all teachers of the department.

Personality is the sum total of ways in which an individual reacts and interacts with others. Or Personality is generally defined as the deeply ingrained and relatively enduring patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. In fact, when one refers to personality, it generally implies to all what is unique about an individual, the characteristics that makes one stand out in a crowd. With this objective School of Commerce,Management and research conducted a Personality Development Session for newly admitted students of MBA so that they can start their academic journey with new aspirations and can get developed to deal with real life situation.

This session was taken by Shri Vipin Jog, Senior Manager Corporate Relations of ITM Group.During his talk he said that self awareness helps in knowing your motivations; preferences, personality and understanding how these factors influence your judgment, decisions and interactions with other people. Through self-awareness one ?develops the ability to know how you are feeling and why, and the impact your feelings have on your behaviour. But it involves a capacity to monitor and control those strong but subliminal biases that all of us harbor and that skew our decision making?.
