Testimonial
The first interaction for me with the program was the flyer. The organization believes in personal change, which was my response and so it should be interesting. I signed up immediately without further inquiry. I did have some assumptions though that professionals from different fields were coming so it would be an intense discourse. Anyways I still made the journey from Ranchi to Panchgani just to accept whatever the fellowship had to offer. The first glance at the Asia Plateau left me astonished. The view itself made me believe that this is going to be an unexpectedly beautiful experience. All the worldly chaos stagnated and submerged in my head, nowhere to be found. Every face that you encounter at the centre is welcoming. We got a little time to mingle before the program officially began.
Apart from the program schedule was a roster duty chart that believed in the concept of ‘SHRAMDAAN’. Every session was designed in such a way that we get to be in groups and with ourselves equally. The centre had such a culturally rich history that we were in awe and mindful of using the resources carefully. Right from the first tree standing upright in its magnificence to teakwood furniture from the beginning of the centre, dedicated halls to different geographic regions for their contributions, tell a story in their ways about the centre and the people who associate themselves with the mission of IofC. We also got acquainted with the picturesque landscape of Panchgani. The focus on introspection and sharing is the core value that they abide by. As change makers, one should go through such a workshop to be able to contribute better. I guess I formed some relations for life. That is their beauty!
