the new environment, inculcate in them the culture of the institution, help them build

bonds with other students and faculty members. And faculty can know the ability and

skill of the student so faculty can help student for improving their skills. In this we the

close interaction with the faculties and with this programme they were also able to judge

our abilities and disabilities and tried to groom us in the best way they can.
 Learning outcomes from activities

Invocation Ceremony

We started the first day at St. Kabir Institute of Professional Studies with an Invocation

Ceremony. The ceremony started with the Saraswati Vandana, a mantra which is believed to

remove all the obstacles to success in one's education and career. We were then welcomed by

Chairman, Col. Vinod Kumar Tandon with a lovely speech which was followed by an address

by Chief Guest, Mr. Snehal Desai (Senior Vice President, Adani Group). We were also

addressed by Director, Dr. Gurpreet Singh Arora who gave us a brief idea of our journey of 2

years at the institute.

Ice-breaking activities

After the Invocation Ceremony we had Ice-breaking activities to help everyone get to know

each other and get comfortable. Firstly we had a “follow the instructions” activity where we

learnt how important it is to hear/read the instructions carefully before starting any work. Then

we had an activity where we made groups and tried to remember every member’s name which

was introduced by themselves with an adjective starting from the same letter as their name.

This activity was fun and it also helped making friends on the very first day. Our last activity

was on how important is teamwork and how we can work faster and solve any problems easily

if we work as a team.
Fundamentals in Financial Accounting for Managers

Many students have joined the institute and some of them are from commerce background

while others from non-commerce background. So two subjects were included in Induction

programme of which one was Fundamentals in Financial Accounting for Managers. This

subject was taught by Hitendra Lachhwani sir. The way sir taught was so good and he also

made sure to go at a slower pace so everyone could take their time to understand and revise the

basics of accounting. We learnt what accounting is, types of accounting, golden rules for entry

system, making journals, ledgers, balance sheet, p&l and cash flow with examples. We were

also given assignments so we could get a practical experience by making those ourselves. He

was also patient and made sure that everyone had cleared their doubts before moving on to next

topic.

Fundamentals in Statistics for Managers

The second subject was Fundamentals in Statistics for Managers which was taught by Poonam

Arora ma’am. She helped us understand that statistics is not only important in management but

also in our day to day life by giving us assignments to research and bring various day to day

uses of topics taken in class. She also was patient and made sure that everyone had cleared their

doubts before moving on to next topic. We learnt about set theories, types of numbers,

Cartesian planes, functions, exponents, overview on statistics, measures of statistics: mean,

median and mode and applications used in companies for statistics like Excel and SPSS.
Mentorship Programme

Mentorship is to become more competent as leaders and communicators as they guide and help

rising talent. Which is more experienced or more knowledgeable person help to guide a less

experienced or less knowledgeable person. We all appreciate and happy from this programme

because many student if we are in any problem some time we student can’t share with anyone

but are organization provide mentor to us so we can talk with them any time. They give us

clarity about our aspirations, achievements and concerns.
