By -



The week-long online Faculty Development Program on Emotional Intelligence hosted by IMI Bhubaneswar received an overwhelming response from participants around the country. Held between 18th and 22nd January, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) Atal Academy sponsored FDP highlighted the significance of emotional intelligence as the key to the performance of business personnel, through various sessions held by experts from the industry and academia.

With the advent of Industry 4.0, it has become evident that business professionals with the ability to manage interpersonal relationships effectively will be in demand in the dynamic new-age workforce. The FDP was curated with sessions that were designed to help train professionals manage interpersonal relationships through emotional intelligence. With Prof. Bindu Chhabra and Prof. Pallavi Pandey of IMI Bhubaneswar at the helm, the FDP began in the right vein through an ice-breaking session that set the tone for engaging discussions to follow.

Prof. Ramesh Behl, Director, IMI Bhubaneswar outlined the importance of Emotional Intelligence of academicians as he said, “Empathy towards students is very important. Trying to understand the emotions of the learners on the other side is crucial too.” Sessions were conducted on the importance of emotional intelligence at the workplace and leading with emotional intelligence that had key takeaways for participants. The online sessions peppered with video presentations talked about the relevance of EI, its different aspects and so much more.

The FDP covered various areas that affect interpersonal relationships including anger and negative emotions. One of the eye-opening moments was when Prof. Rohit Vishal Kumar in his session on ‘Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Emotional Intelligence’ said, “People are much more than their behaviour; they behave differently in different situations.” It was a takeaway that all participants could not only relate to but will also do well to remember in their professional interactions in the future.

Role of Emotional Intelligence in Design Thinking, Persuasive Skills, Non-violent Communications, Building Effective Teams, and Time Management were some of the engrossing sessions that were held during the FDP. Interestingly, one of the sessions - ‘Stress Management’ saw Mr Vijay Nalgirkar talk about gaining emotional intelligence through Sahaj Yoga. As Prof. Kapil Pandla said in his session, “Information alone isn’t enough to convince or teach. How you deliver information matters.” It was also evident in the FDP that remained interactive, and ended with a feedback session and assessment tests, thus offering an engaging and valuable learning experience to all participants.

DEEDS NOT IN YEARS - Aritra Bose Life is measured by moments and achievements; Man’s worth is not measured in his longevity. Time flies, it waits for none. Every moment in this life is different from the previous one. Man was the creator of civilizations . From the beginning of time it is established that “a man may die but his story remains; stories about his victories are talked about even after thousands of years, and the world remembers his name.” We may die young but our deeds(good or bad) remain, with it our name remain. Age is no criterion for meaning of life. It is the actions which make us immortal. Jimi Hendrix was an American guitarist,songwriter,producer. Hendrix is a legend in the history of music.
