Centre for Holistic Development (CHD) Report 2016-2017
SLC is very sensitive towards societal changes and thus, under the leadership of its Principal,
Dr. Rabi Narayan Kar, the College has established a Centre for Holistic Development (CHD)
for ensuring a balanced development of our students. The Principal felt a strong need to
establish this Centre because in today's scenario, where one is witness to a widespread
degeneration of human values (principles, standards, convictions, and beliefs), it is our moral
duty to groom these young scholars, enriching them with empathy and moral consciousness so
that they become the torch bearers of the "Human Values" movement. This Centre focuses on
developing and imparting holistic education to our students to make them ethically strong. This
would make them responsible citizens.
The important events organized and initiatives taken by this Centre evidently helps in opening up
of the minds of the students to newer ways of thinking. Going a step ahead, through CHD, the
College has entered into collaboration with Academy of Value Management, a unit of Integrating
Spirituality and Organisational Leadership Foundation (ISOL). This knowledge sharing
collaboration organises monthly lectures delivered by eminent speakers from diverse fields of
life on topics which help people in getting connected to our ancient culture and heritage. These
interactive sessions with the students help in fulfilling the need to imbibe moral and social values
that will make them the model citizens of the country.
The Centre has organised the following Eight powerful lectures since its
inception in June 2016:
5th June 2016: Doctrine of Yoga by Mr. Krishna Kumar MB
Brief CV of the Key Speaker:Mr. Krishna Kumar MB, consultant on Corporate Planning,
Policy Formulations & Logistics, Governing Board Committee (ISOL Foundation), as the key
speaker. Mr. Krishna Kumar MB is a dynamic professional with rich experience in Broadcast
Industry and Corporate Communications, Journalism, Crisis Management, Editorial Operations,
Strategic Planning and Management.
Summary of the Lecture:YoGa is the most advanced science for the development and
advancement of the human faculties with psycho-physical characteristics in synchronisation
with the cosmic systems. Doctrine of Yoga or YoGa Anusaasanam popularly known as Yoga
Sootra (sutra) is an extensive application of the Principles of ‘Jyotishmati’ of Skanda together
with its branches of Astronomy, human structure and functions in reciprocation to nature.
Posture and regulation of breathe skeleto- muscular and organ systems are only a part of the
YoGa Sootra. The extensive application of the YoGa Sootra underlies in the positioning in
consonance with Astrophysical principles and delinking the impact of chronological progression
of time, to create a self defined, self determining Faculties and Physique with absolute control of
2
involuntary and voluntary functions. Thus System of YoGa is fundamental to futuristic course
of learning and skill development to create absolute mastery over the subject streams pursued.

6th August 2016: The Flow, The Zone and Yog Darshan by Mr. Rakesh Kumar
Brief CV of the Key Speaker:GM and Chief Vigilance Officer, OICL
Summary of the Lecture: The lecture aimed at exploring "YOG DARSHAN" or Patanjali Yog
Sutra, with respect to working in the zone or flow as envisaged by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi.
Mihály Csíkszentmihályi defined, flow as completely focused motivation, according to him it
leads to ultimate, experience by harnessing the emotions. Flow is so named because during
Csíkszentmihályi's 1975 interviews several people described their "flow" experiences using the
metaphor of a water current carrying them along.Some of the challenges to staying in flow
include states of apathy, boredom, and anxiety. Being in a state of apathy is characterized when
challenges are low and one's skill level is low producing a general lack of interest in the task at
hand. Boredom is a slightly different state in that it occurs when challenges are low, but one's
skill level exceeds those challenges causing one to seek higher challenges. Lastly, a state of
anxiety occurs when challenges are so high that they exceed one's perceived skill level causing
one great distress and uneasiness. These states in general differ from being in a state of flow, in
that flow occurs when challenges match one's skill level. Consequently, Csíkszentmihályi has
