The Inspiration Tree

Our Founders

Late Sh. Seth Pokhar Mal was a great visionary who always thought ahead of time to help the society

through education. He firmly believed that knowledge is the product of an educational institution. He was a

strategist and an institution builder. We would always continue to take inspiration from his work in the field of

education.

Late Smt. Rukmini Devi, wife of Seth Pokhar Mal Ji, was a great philanthropist. She had immense regard

for ethical values in life and was deeply imbibed with love for children. She always visualized a beautiful world

of children full of innocence, happiness and virtues. “Seth Pokhar Mal Educational Society” took upon itself

the task of converting her dream into reality. In 1986, the society started Rukmini Devi Public School,

perpetuating her name, immediately after the registration of the society. In course of time, SPMES established

Rukmini Devi Institute of Advanced Studies (RDIAS) as well, among several other institutions.

Sh. K.C Garg formed the society, after his father's name. He has a personality with a multidimensional vision

and action for the cause of education. He is the guiding force behind the success of educational ventures of

Seth Pokhar Mal Education Society, since its inception in 1986. His perseverance has inspired the 'Rukmini

Devi' family to grow from a small kinder garten level to a conglomerate of institutes, offering infrastructure of

international standard and education at an affordable cost.

Smt. Anita Garg's leadership and commitment towards educating the society has brought Rukmini Devi

group at an international platform. She derives her philosophy from her in-depth knowledge of literature. She

has, with her hard work and intellect, nurtured and manicured little saplings into trees of wisdom.

Many a times you realize, you were all there and were movingin all prepared, but still you somehow end up missing the opportunity. Maybesomewhere, someone tried to market himself in the most creative of the ways possibleand was eventually able to relate himself more with the “Why You” of the opportunityas compared to other candidates.

Given the ideology, an Interactive Session on Personal Branding was organized for the MBA students to dig deeper into the making of the Personal Brand and knowing as to how to do so in ways suitable to their candidature. Mr. Chhabra, resource person, initiated the session by shedding some light on the Beauty of Story Telling and the wonders it can do to your Personal Brand. Carrying on the discussion, Mr. Chhabra discussed ways by which one can add-on that unique perspective towards profiling yourself as not just the right candidate but an industry relevant candidate.

Lastly, the resource person deliberated on how building Personal Brand augments one's Corporate Brand, to which he/she is a part of. The Students showcased their eagerness as they asked question on how to assess my “Why” clearly and diligently thus getting acquainted to the need of the hour: “Personal Branding”.

Background: India's growth story has a long way to go and if we wish to realize the dream of making India an economic super power, training and development of young India is the need of the hour. We have enormous advantage of age and have abundant man power available, however, when it comes to quality of man power; we hear of shortage stories all around due to non-availability of industry ready students.

Introduction: The Corporate Training Program (CTP) is a collection of customized modules, designed and planned specifically for the students of MBA & BBA.

The first instalment of SENSEI – RIDAS’ flagship SMP program witnessed the sensitisation of MBA students, in an all-new avatar.The respective mentors (all geared up) facilitated their mentee’s growth story by igniting the curiosity of the mind, which eventually got

reflected in the student’s professional pursuits.

SMP 2.0 designed specifically for Semester I students’ aims to condition the thought. The session deliverables have been diligently

crafted to suit the needs of Industry 4.0, wherein the module lays emphasis on ensuring not just the right candidate but an industry

relevant candidate.The activities are participative on delivery terms and lets students be more self-aware thereby gradually building upon the clarity of

purpose.

In order to meet the program outcome of the desired attitude correction, there needs to be a commonality of the thought amongst

mentors, with which we the mentors shall be looking forward to our mentorship role.To ensure effective session delivery, below mentioned are the ideations (reflected in pointers) we as mentors need to share a common

understanding on –

48

Session 1- This is me!

First Split – Delivery time – 15 minutes- Smile please! It’s their first interaction with you as a mentee. Make them comfortable. - Outline on what the mentorship program SENSEI is all about - Pass on the notion – The program eventually shall turn into an enriching experience if you (students) are receptive to change. - If you want it, the program should make sense to you. Period.

Second Split – Delivery time – 35 minutes- It’s all about how you reflect- Your voice says it all- No matter how you perform, this should be your defining moment.

Encourage students to participate – No one should miss the chance.

Session 2 - Talk 4.0 (In consideration to Industry 4.0)Ideation – up the game to be the change The industry dynamics are changing at a fast pace. A science fiction today happens to be an engineering reality tomorrow. In today’s world sustaining competition requires you to be the industry’s wanted guy.You are not just updated but your skills and competency are relevant in today’s corporate world.

- Change takes time and is not comforting.- It tests your limits. It tests your patience. It grills you to the core.

Þ- This gets followed by confidence that’s lasting and courage that defines you.

Pass on the notion – Industry is ready to hire if you approach your professional endeavours in a disciplined way and are willing to change.

More importantly given you are willing to begin!

- Ask students to share their learnings from the video. - No Judgement but the ones who come up to the dias and share their views get an additional 2 pt. score on the Performance

Track cumulative total.

Session 5 - Find you IKIGAI

NOTE: Prior reading is recommended.

The Concept

- Ikigai (生き甲斐, pronounced [ikigai]) is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." The word "ikigai" is usually

used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the things that make one's life worthwhile. - The word translated to English roughly means "thing that you live for" or "the reason for which you wake up in the morning.”- Each individual's ikigai is personal to them and specific to their lives, values and beliefs. It reflects the inner self of an individual

and expresses that faithfully, while simultaneously creating a mental state in which the individual feels at ease. Activities that

allow one to feel ikigai are never forced on an individual; they are often spontaneous and always undertaken willingly, giving the

individual satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life. Pass on the ideation:

- Know your reason of being- You are unique in yourself – explore the unknown. - Your IKIGAI lies at the centre of four interconnecting circles- Take time to diligently ponder on the activity.

Session 6 - Keep up the Pace – Track your race- Track your Mentee’s progress w.r.t the Performance Tracker.- Assess the student’s improvement in terms of his/her openness and clarity of thought in the way he communicates. - Whether he/she was able to experiment/explore his/her creative side?- Make a call on Mentee’s willingness to showcase his/her talent and his/her hunger in search of such avenues

The ones who fit the call can further be counselled to perform beyond expectations and to go for the big change.

Abstract: Forgery is way to misdeed something in order to upshot some personal or financial gain. There are a variety of fraud detection techniques, applied in various application areas, which helps to identify that the certain event or thing is forged or not. These techniques predict the probability of certain fraud that can occur if its contributing attributes matches a certain threshold. Predicting fraud becomes essential due to development in Information Technology, various technological machinery, tools and up gradation of communication channels. Counterfeiting of banknotes is one such area where fraudulence needs to be predicted so that appropriate action can be taken. Forgery of currency massively affects the socio-economic wealth of a country, hence in order to predict the probability of fraud, classification model based on Logistic Regression was generated. The dataset of Swiss Franc banknotes was considered for the model and it is taken from the DataLab of Fundamental of statistics. The study proposed an effective predictive model, which can predict the classification of counterfeit and genuine banknotes with 98.9% accuracy. The performance measure of the model was tested with the help of training and testing dataset. The model was built and tested using IBM SPSS Statistics 21 tool.

ATTENDANCE: "A" students have virtually perfect attendance. Their commitment to the class is a high priority and exceeds other temptations.

PREPARATION: "A" students are prepared for class. They always read and come. Their attention to detail is such that they occasionally can elaborate on class examples.

CURIOSITY: "A" students demonstrate interest in the class and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don't understand. They often ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.

RETENTION: "A" students have retentive mind and practice making retentive connections. They are able to connect past learning with the present. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their classes. They focus on learning concepts rather than memorizing details.

ATTITUDE: "A" students have a winning attitude. They have both the determination and the self-discipline necessary for success. They show initiative. They do things they have not been told to do.

TALENT: "A" students demonstrate a special talent. It may be exceptional intelligence and insight. It may be unusual creativity, organizational skills, commitment - or a some combination. These gifts are evident to the teacher and usually to the other students as well.

EFFORT: "A" students match their effort to the demands of an assignment. COMMUNICATIONS: "A" students place a high priority on writing and speaking in a manner that conveys clarity and thoughtful

organization. Attention is paid to conciseness and completeness.RESULTS: "A" students make high grades on tests - usually the highest in the class. Their work is a pleasure to grade.

Keeping up with the tradition of RDIAS, here is the list of students who have done exceptionally well in the months of August, September, October and November from MBA, and BBA Department respectively. They have been selected on the basis of Performance Index which is a culmination of attendance, result of online tests, and marks secured by the student in internal examinations.

Engagement is directly linked to success in the classroom, and when you are engaged in the classroom, you become a full participant in what you're learning!!!

Bitcoin MethodologyHansee Rawat, MBA B, 1st Semester (Morning)

Introduction

The bitcoin are like any other currency, introduced on 3rd January, 2009 invented by Satoshi Nakamoto, however Craig Steven Wrigh has claimed to be the creator never the lest, but there is a big difference between Bitcoin and bitcoins, 'Bitcoin' refers to an entire system itself and the 'bitcoins' refers to a currency itself.

How to get started?Bitcoins are for electronic purchases and transfers. It's a relatively easier process more easily than the plastic money. All you have to do is to get started by downloading the 'Bitcoin Wallet', this wallet is any other app that we can easily download from our personal computers or smart phones. Bitcoin is not any organization but a process of transaction done peer to peer system by a group of miners. Although it is gaining popularity but still is not with acceptance with the governments since there are chances of money laundering.

How data is accessed? Like any digital data, the data storage is easy and efficient, but the larger the data hence higher the fees associated with it. There are many embedded items which are stored such as the URLs, materials from the WikiLeaks and etc. The medium for storing the bitcoin transactions is the block chain. And the block chains are monitored by a central authority which is the communicating nodes and each node is responsible for the copy of the block chains. Well, surprisingly the unit of the bitcoin is the bitcoin itself. And the smallest amount of the bitcoin represents 0.00000001 bitcoin. Then to claim your ownership a private key has to be digitally signed by the payer. Without it the transaction cannot be made. And the signature of the payer is verified by the public key. Then in the end the transactions are made which should have one or more than one input which must be unspent of the previous transaction output and again every input must be digitally signed.

Mining

Mining is processes which keep the block chain consistent, it is done by miners. Here the addition of the transactions record is done in the bitcoin public ledger in the past transactions or the block chains. The ledger is also called the block chains or the chain of blocks. And it confirms the transactions to the rest of the network. As the technology is advancing so do miners, mining pools are becoming common in miners. Which is responsible for decreasing the load by generating new blocks. And it even has protocol for it that specifies that there will be a reward for generating a block that shall be halved into 210,000 blocks every year. Well-paying the transaction fee is optional and there a partiality on the basis of the payment of the fees, that only those who pay a higher fees are preferred first.

Privacy

There are chances of cyber security risks, the buyers may not have the prior knowledge about the goods they are buying are safe or not. As well as there have

been many cases of bitcoin theft. There are also a few black market sites, in which bitcoins are sold illegally. But due to the anonymous nature, it hard to crack whether the sale of the bitcoins is real or fraud, just as fishing in the dark. There can be unauthorized mining involved in bitcoin transactions.

Social Media – A Daunting IssueIshita Khosla, MBA B, 1st Semester (Morning)

Remember I told you all about Cannabis? If not then Let me repeat myself, Cannabis also known as marijuana is a drug which has been a newsworthy topic for quite a long time now . The media has always emphasized that Drugs , alcohol, smoking are the most dangerous weapons for a Human being .

That's Right!! ,they are hazardous!! But there is an addiction which is as serious as Drugs ,smoking etc. And That's “Social Media”. You must be thinking what Am I saying?

Alcohol, Drugs, smoking have age restrictions ,at the end of the day you know what will be the ill-effects of the same. But what about social media? Social media is actually inducing youngsters to make it a habit which is difficult to resist from.It has been observed that People who spend more time on Facebook are likely to suffer from depression than the people who spend less time on Facebook (Young and Rogers, 1998).

Lets forget everything else, I'll take my example over here. I am the person who wakes up at 6 in the morning and my first job is Not to wish good morning to my parents verbally but my first job is to send snap to my friends so that the streak that I have maintained up till now doesn't break!

That's the life we youngsters are living these days and its a fact! Not only me but 90% of the youngsters are living their lives like this only (Cabral, 2008). This is the reason why we are not happy. If I upload a picture on Instagram ,I would open the app at least 20 times in 1 hour to see how many likes have I received up till now ,if it crosses 60 it would give me a level of satisfaction that Yes! People do like me , I am making an impact. On the other hand If I would receive only 30 likes I'll think negatively. Am I not making an impact? People do not like me any more? Is the Picture uploaded not perfect? Should I delete it?

Why ? Why should I even care about people? I like the picture I have uploaded the same ,that's it. Stop Overthinking! Its an obsession that would ultimately affect you in a negative way.

I have seen my friends expressing their emotions through quotes or pictures on social media. I had a friend who's pursuing graduation, once she was feeling a bit low, I asked her several times why is she sad, but she didn't tell me. After half an hour I saw her Story On WhatsApp which said “Feeling low due to High fever”. That's Insane Right? When I am asking you in person you are not ready to tell me but you want the whole world to know it through social media.

Due to lack of Personal Interactions people are facing a lot many hurdles and obstacles in their work life as well. They feel that they are being cornered and in worst of all the cases that I have seen, people are committing suicide due to such reasons.

We are well aware of the Pros and Cons of Social Media but we as individuals do not want to accept its Cons. Why?

Because we have Become Addicted to it . We do not want to accept the fact that more than its pros ,it has the cons which in a direct or an indirect way is harming us. I would like to quote a Real life example over here.

I have a cousin brother, he was putting up in Rajasthan at that time. He was approximately 20 years old when he had started using Facebook. I am 2 years younger than him so I was 18 years old at that time. Whenever I used to visit him what I witnessed everytime was he was always busy chatting with a friend of his. After few months when I forced him to tell me whom he was continuously busy chatting with ,he told me that he had become friends with this person named Mohan on Facebook, who was of his age and he had the plans of starting a business which my brother Romil was also interested in. So they discussed about their start up on Facebook only. I asked him whether he had some old connections with this person or else he had randomly sent him a friend request and after that they had started chatting? He told me Mohan had randomly sent him a friend request and he accepted the same.

I had this gut feeling that Mohan is not a genuine person, if he was so passionate about his start up then he should have at least met my brother once. I told the same to Romil also but he did not believe me. I even warned my uncle and aunt ( Romil's parents) regarding this .I told them that there are many people on Facebook who make fool of others ,they make fake identities and their basic aim is to deceive other people.

Slowly and steadily Mohan started to Demand money from Romil and My brother so deeply started trusting this man that he arranged for the amount that he had asked him to arrange. The amount was Rs 10 lakhs! Rs 10 lakhs, for the start up and for the person who had never met him in person and He so blindly trusted him.My entire family was so tensed regarding Romil's decision because he was mature of his age ,he always took the right decision but its said “Whatever is meant to happen ,will happen”.

Mohan told my brother to meet him in Bhiwari (an industrial area) and handover him the money so that they could start with the operations of the business. He also instructed him not to bring anybody with him because he only wanted to meet him because there was no support of the family in what he was doing ,he did not tell anyone of us that he was going to Biwari to meet and handover the money to Mohan.

I still remember the date, 6th August, 2017 it was he told uncle and aunt that he was going to Jaipur for his college trip and he would be back by 6pm in the evening .

My Brother had a friend , Abhishek whom he had told every little detail regarding his meeting with Mohan.

Anyway as and when my brother reached to the industrial area Mohan was already there to receive him. He straight away asked for the money and when my brother resisted a bit , Mohan took out his pistol and he shot my brother and ran away.

On the other hand it was 9 pm already and my uncle and aunt were very worried because Romil did not reach home. They called all their relatives but no one had a clue about him. Then they called Abhishek. He informed them that Romil had went to Bhiwadhi to give the money to Mohan, as and when my uncle and aunt heard this, they straight away went to the Police and a missing complaint was registered. After 1 whole day his body was found in the same industrial area where Mohan had called him and killed him. We all were shocked and we genuinely did not see that coming.

Now you must be thinking why did my brother resist to handover the money? Because Mohan had this very dashing Display Picture (DP) on his Facebook profile but in reality when my brother saw him his personality was totally opposite to his Profile Picture. He was this

103

average looking person who was basically fooling my brother so that he can take all the money from him and enjoy his life to the fullest, and my Brother was caught successfully in his trap. He had put a fake profile picture and for about 1 month he kept on persuading and influencing my brother.

Social Media had Taken away someone's son, someone's brother ,someone's grandchild!Who says drinking alcohol ,smoking cigarettes or consuming drugs are harmful for health and well-being. After reading this incident, what is your opinion?

Using Social Media in an effective and efficient manner will help the youngsters to lead and live their life happily otherwise the consequences are adverse and who would know this better than us now!

Fall in Love With Boredom By Power of PatienceShubham Riyal, MBA B, 1st Semester (Morning)

In our life we experience a state where we all feel restless due to lack of agility and enthusiasm in our present, as continuous feeling of losing interest and feeling tired or bored occurs very easily. This state of feeling nothing about current state and being bored is common in all human beings in this changing and competitive world. So is their anything which can help us getting out of this state of boredom? Is their any way of getting out of this state ? If is their any way how does it works ? And these type of questions are arising in minds of many individuals these days, If I tell you that their is a way to fall in love with your boredom and do things in more better way ? The way is very simple and easy. We only underestimate the power of that way these days. The only which is being talked or focused about me is the power of patientce,consistency and perseverance.

Boredom and facts

“Arthur schopenhaure” said that their are two enemies of human happiness and that is pain and boredom..Boredom runs everyone to different state of mind.

There are many causes which lead to boredom:Lack of awareness, Feeling more relaxed, Lack of autonomy, Lack of flow, Lack of inner awareness, Lack of interest.All these highlighted causes above can lead anyone to unpleasant emotional state. But boredom can also lead to creativity to a great extent only if dealt in an appropriate way, otherwise it leads to less healthy behavior. The way which should be bought into action to tackle boredom is, power of patience only that way onus's creativity can be aroused

Being a master in any thing is not easy or it does not happen by chance or it is never an accident.An athlete, artists, the story for all is same become if anyone want to achieve perfection in any thing then one must practice skills for a long time with consistency. All top athletes, stars and your role models in your life found out a way to fall in, love with there boredom.

How we fall in love with a habit which we truly hate or not want to do anymore it's truly difficult for anyone. So what we do to fall in love with our boredom?

104

1. Focus on end results rather than their processLike we all do gym-ing so instead of focusing on process keep in mind the end result we want to see in our self. The same thing we can use in the time of studying focus on end result like if anyone want good marks focus on marks in instead of process.All these activities need patience to seeing result in gym we need to stay clam and need patience. same in studying it is not one night process patience is must at after sometime we are working in our boredom time too.

2. Don't take everything too seriously Start enjoying every moment instead of over thinking upon the facts over and over again, leading to boredom and self doubt.

3. Enjoy your small wins instead of waiting for large one.For example,gyming ,the individual who never misses the workout sessions and is consistent enough to practice on daily basis enjoy their win moment on daily basis, by watching their bodily changes everyday by increasing fitness quality.

Power of patience

I meet many people in life who are bore enough with their current state of work and require some other thing to do in their life now. No matter how better and proficient they are in their prenet deeded they feel a need to try new because of urging constant feeling of boredom. But if they continue prioritizing their current work by looking for more options or varieties in there current job or work they can do it in much better way and enjoy the same pleasure than trying new . the only qualities required in todays world is consistency ,patience and faith in oneself to achieve whatever we wish for . Use power of patience and do more of what you already doing. Patience is the virtue that could alter the quality of life and is the key to satisfaction. Patience also lead to more opportunities if anybody in the state of boredom stay clam and have some patience there is opportunities waiting for you in the next door. So fall in love with your boredom by using the power of patience.“Joyce meyer” said that patience is not simply the ability to wait- its how we behave while we are waiting and what we do with our current work or situation.

Now stop yourself in the moment and think and ask yourself is the thing that I need right now in my life be true to yourself and you get your answer.

Every human is an Artist: The Dream of your life is to make beautiful Art by the colors of hard workAyush Baijel, MBA B, 1st Semester (Evening)

Numerous Devine feelings In a form of emotional state or reaction, especially the most intense ones, are difficult to reveal and put into words. But there is someone who is blessed to brush these feelings on a limitless canvas with a variety of shades, shades of colorful thoughts of a ARTIST. When people ignore what they feel, a substantial amount of their vitality is taken away. Listen to each of your feelings and tackle them one by one through intuitively painting or any other artistic expression.

Being a Artist It's my immense pleasure to express my creative expressions. God create this nature and universe once, but It's a beautifulness of an artist that he can brush down the supreme creator as many times he wants, That's exactly what I have special in my Paintings. “I love and live to paint Krishna”, It's so Devine and delightful to me while painting the different forms and appearances of Kanhaiya, Only by the grace of him.

105

Krishna and his Devine attraction and mysticism lead innumerable art lovers to paint Krishna with all His charm and grace in different hues and forms. Artists from all over India and outside use varied colors and mediums to paint life like paintings of Radha and Krishna. Krishna's paintings make a huge collection of paintings all over India. The paintings depicting life of Krishna are created using mediums such as clay, wood, glass, dried leaves and canvas with strokes of brush or other devices. Natural colors made from green vegetation, chemicals and dyes are used to create color combinations.

The creativity of real art uplifts the consciousness of the artist, bringing in the divine feelings.While making a sculpture or art, when you are painting eyes of Krishna, you are rekindling the light in the depth of your soul. While painting the crown peacock feather, you are immersed in His divinity. When you paint hands you become His flute and while painting His feet, you are the devotee at His lotus feet. In doing so, the artist's self gets subsumed in His piousness and purity. Creation of Art gives you new inspiration and joy. Creativity brings in a dimension of imagination, intuition and inspiration, that nurtures and invigorates you

The Painting projects the soul of the painter's meditation on their divinity, reaching pinnacle of their worship. Krishna's attraction becomes the epicenter of paintings. The Peacock's feather adorned by Krishna is the favourite central theme, as the feather contains all the seven colors of rainbow. The blue pearl is the center of consciousness and the Peacocks feather displays this blue pearl. The entire universe has emanated from blue dot and is covered by Akasha (ether), which appears blue during day time and black at night. Krishna is identified by both the colours blue and black, merging with artist's meditative mind at the climax of his creation, WHEN THE CREATION AND THE CREATOR BECOMES ONE.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes, Art is knowing which ones to keep. We all are Blessed with a hidden Artist within ourselves, just need to recognize our creative abilities and expand our intellectual boundaries to think beyond the limits. By concluding my views I would request you all to must visit on my facebook and youtube page i.e. BRIJWASI CREATIONS for more enlighten of inner soul by the Devine thoughts and paintings of Radha krishna, I am so Thankful and expressing my gratitude towards RUKMINI DEVI INSTITUE OF ADVANCE STUDIES for publishing my special Talent.

Make Your Mother SmileDhriti S. Katyal, MBA B, 1st Semester (Morning)

“21” years ago my mother was in deep pain and anguish .She was biting her lips with her teeth, clenching her fists tight and writhing in pain and suddenly after the cry there was a smile on her face her “bundle of joy” was born “I” was born . That was the moment of her life which she cherishes the most because I was her little princess. Since then she has worked hard to feed me , clean me , educate me, take care of me and encourage me right from my First Smile , First Sip and First Step. She has helped me in every sphere of my life.

My mother is just not a helping hand but also a pillar of support and strength for me. She has moulded me like the potter

106

moulds his pots and the farmer nurtures his seeds to become fruitful plants. It is rightly said that “GOD” couldn’t be everywhere that is why he created “MOTHERS”.

My mother has always tried to bring a smile on my frowning face be it just for a chocolate or a fight with a friend. Whatever be the nature or degree of problem I always have my mother to look up to and she helps me in every problem of mine with her magical wand of patience.

Hence the saying “To a child’s ear mother is magic in any language.” She plays a pivotal role in shaping the life and future of her children, she would love to see them blossom into fine young responsible adults.

In fact our mothers can make out by seeing our faces that what is wrong and what kind of a problem have we landed in. My Mother also by seeing my face can say what has happened during the course of the day and how did it go.

Starting from Class 1 to 12 I saw that my mother had a smile on her face always when she went for my PTM in school.

I noticed that she would find small yet little things for having that “Smile” on her face. I am sure that to all of us our mothers act as the backbone that we all possess.

My Mothers smile is something that motivates me to do my best and come out of my comfort zone and reach new and greater heights.

Another such situation arose when I had gone to get my driving license made. My mother was the one to push me to learn how to drive a car. All through the practice session she used to sit right next to me to make sure I don’t do a blunder by banging or bumping into someone’s car.

Now during that time, one day I told my dad that I would drive the car and take him and mom to the bank. To my surprise I drove in an atrocious manner and my dad told me that I would not be able to clear the driving test.

I was demoralized, shattered and low on self esteem that is when my mother came in and motivated me that yes I am capable enough to conquer the world.

I practiced diligently for a week and went for the test along with my mother. To my surprise I cleared the test in the first round itself and that was another “Eureka Moment” in my life which I cherish till date, since the amount of faith my mother had in me was the only reason behind achieving this milestone.

After this incident I realized that not only is My Mother a source of motivation or a pillar of support and strength but she means the “World” to me, to make her smile I can do anything in literal terms.

Be it my exam results or any achievement of winning debates or a prestigious title in college, My mother has always had a smile due to these little gestures or so called accomplishments in my life.

One must realize and respect our Mother not only because she gave you birth but because she will be standing by your side as a guide.

The role of a mother is irreplaceable and incomparable and the biggest gift you can give her is a “Smile” on her face each day, not only waiting for Mother’s Day to post pictures and showing the so called social media love but celebrating each day as Mothers day. Making her laugh and smile will make a difference to your outlook in life.

107

Whatever I am today is because of My Mother and her dream to see being a “Wonder Girl”.

More than these small incidents, most important for my mother to smile would be to see me grow as a good human being with good social and moral values and be a good and responsible citizen of “Mother India”.

“Never” would I do anything to bring shame or embarrassment to My Mother and My Motherland.

Since My Mother has tried to fulfill every dream of mine I would be overwhelmed with joy to do the same for her. My mother’s desire is that I do well in my professional career. I should also fulfill my social duties by becoming a responsible and concerned citizen. I will leave no stone unturned to fulfill her dream and make her proud of me.

This is not only a tribute to My Mother but also an appreciation to all the Mothers across the globe who have been working hard to give their children a wonderful upbringing.

A Salute to all the Mothers !!

Retail management is all about the real life scenario of marketing we observe on a daily basis, but to understand it on a micro level I feel privileged to study this subject under the guidance of Mr. Sunil Kumar Yadav. With the help of case studies, real life examples, class room learnings and notes it was quiet easy for me to grasp the subject understanding. Thank you RDIAS for providing me the platform to learn and enhance my knowledge with help of talented faculties and upgraded infrastructure.

I would like to thank my college and my teacher Ms. Aarti sehgal for the continuous guidance and support. Aarti mam provided us with the relevant study material and was always there to clarify the doubts and guide us towards the better. Her teaching skills were exceptionally great and whatever I have achieved I owe it to her. At RDIAS we have access to the finest of the study materials, education portal and cooperative faculty which aim for our overall development and growth. I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for making it happen for me and I am blessed to be a part of the RDIAS family.

I had the best time in sharing the stage with the panelists. I would love to be a part of such conclaves in near future@ RDIAS. It was a wonderful experience and a great initiative by RDIAS. It was good to learn that “learning” is the focus of all activities rather than only placements.
