University communique hh From VC’s Desk

hh VC’s Activity III quarter (July – Septemeber - 2017)

Move from Apathy to Active Involvement Strive for Healthy body and mind: Wellness is of primary importance to eschew apathy. A weakened body or mind can easily lead to fatigue and apathy.

Look for the Positives: Metaphorically speaking, in the real-life, “No glass is ever filled to the brim.” Let us not complain and crib about the negatives; instead, we should focus on the positives and build on them for even better outcomes.

Bonding and Collaboration with other Staff: having professional bonding and a work-culture based on collaborating team-work galvanizes the whole team. We all perceive it during successful team based activities like conducting a conference or a Graduation Day. Why not extend the same bon-homie to daily work?

Learn and Share New Knowledge and Skills: It is estimated that in 21st Century, one needs to learn 4 to 5 new skills every year. Learning new things and sharing them with our students and peers is delightful way of eradicating apathy in our lives.

Helping others: As health sciences faculty members, we can help our peers, students, patients and the general public.

Volunteering to assist others in our areas of competence is a great way of leaving apathy behind., Follow a scientific approach: Subjective empiricism is an easier way to run our lives but it limits our vision and stunts our intellectual development. Curiosity to objectively discover and document the truth is the basis of science and we need to cultivate the scientific temper in ourselves and coax our peers and students to adopt the same.

July 15th Valedictory function of PGS Orientation at MGMCRI July 17th EPortfolio for 2nd year PGs July 19th Quarterly AAA at SSSMCRI

Lighten Up and Smile: Take Life’s challenges on your stride. Miserable experiences of our past are often our ‘good old stories’ of Today, told with a smile or a chuckle. Keeping in mind that today’s misery will be tomorrow’s anecdote can give us the tolerance to accept Life and move on with a smile.
