Session held on ‘Overcoming the Summit Within’

Chandigarh: The Character Building Committee of Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women, Chandigarh, organised an online session titled ‘Overcoming the Summit Within’, with an aim to inspire students to strive to achieve their dreams despite the hurdles.
The resource person for this invigorating session was Ms. Shubhangi Bhardwaj, alumnae of the college, who is currently pursuing Post Graduate studies at McGill University, Montreal, majoring in Educational Psychology.
Ms. Shubhangi shared with the participants her journey from being a student in the college to going abroad for further studies; enlightening the participants about how she stayed focused on her goals despite the failures she had to face and she asserted that there is a lot of struggle and hard work which forms the backdrop of any successful endeavour.
Ms. Shubhangi reminded the participants of the importance of moving out of one’s comfort zone in order to evolve. She also warned the students against constantly seeking validation from outside as it is detrimental to one’s mental health.
Principal of the college, Dr. Nisha Bhargava, reinforced the need to stay optimistic and always feel grateful for the bounties of life rather than wallowing in complaining mode. She lauded the efforts of Character Building Committee directed at instilling in the students values that make them better humans with a strong character and positive outlook.
Around 100 participants registered for the session. The participants felt motivated to stay upbeat despite the challenges and learnt to take the ups and downs in their stride while staying focused on their goals. The queries of the participants were suitably taken up by the resource person.
