Welspun Foundation for Health & Knowledge Enhances Leadership Skills and Fosters Scientific Curiosity in Telangana
Hyderabad: The Welspun Foundation for Health & Knowledge, in collaboration with Siva Sri Charitable Trust, recently organized two significant events aimed at empowering the communities in Telangana through leadership training and scientific exploration.
Leadership Skills Training Program at Kanha Santhivanam
A two-day residential training program was held at the serene Kanha Santhivanam, an ashram of the Sri Rama Chandra Mission, designed to enhance leadership skills among the field team of Telangana. This intensive workshop brought together 25 participants, including Village Coordinators, Mandal Coordinators, and the Project Coordinator.
The sessions covered various aspects of leadership, such as the characteristics of effective leaders, leadership styles, communication, and teamwork. The activity-based learning approach, complemented by group games, fostered an engaging and supportive environment. The residential format allowed participants to bond and share experiences, further enriching their learning journey.
The unique setting of Kanha Santhivanam provided an opportunity for participants to partake in meditation sessions conducted by the ashram’s Heartfulness team. These sessions, coupled with a guided tour of the ashram, introduced participants to meditation techniques, emphasizing the role of inner peace in effective leadership.
Participants expressed gratitude for the innovative training format, with one participant stating, “This residential training was new to us. The engaging sessions, combined with the chance to bond with peers and experience the ashram’s peaceful environment, made it a remarkable learning experience.”
