A Suresh Chandra, President, PMI Pearl City Chapter, on Memo Issued by Government of AP for ISLD
Dear All
I am pleased to inform you that Government of Andhra Pradesh has reiterated their support to PMIPCC’s ISLD initiative.
Last year there was GO issued by Education Department advising all the educational Institutions to celebrate ISLD on 3rd
 February. However,
 the GO was silent on the continuity of the same every year. Sathya 
Venkatesh, Board member of our chapter with his perseverance ensured 
that a fresh GO is issued advising to celebrate ISLD across all the 
educational institutions every year on 3rd
 February.
On
 behalf of the board and chapter members, I thank Venkatesh for his 
efforts. I also seek support from all the leaders of the Region to 
facilitate
 the implementation of ISLD celebrations in educational institutions 
across your States. I also take opportunity to thank Pune Chapter team 
for implementing these initiatives in Pune.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Warm Regards
Suresh Chandra
President, PMI Pearl City Chapter

International
 Student Leadership Day (ISLD) is originated from India and hopefully 
Team India and whole world celebrate this every year

Dear All, 
It was a good day  today.
I  conducted ISDL2012 on behalf of PMI-PCCI in Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan
Atmakuri Rama Rao School, Rd#45, Jubilee Hills.  School Principal Smt
Satya and event coordinator  Smt Sujata were very  supportive and called
for a special assembly  at  11:00 AM for ISLD celebration. I 
reached the school by  10:30 along with my  colleague Mr Nishit.  
Before I  tell 
something about the event, I am happy to  tell that their internal
leadership team made arrangements in 10 minutes time with amazing discipline.
All the 450  students settled down with pin drop silence in 10 minutes
time. The credit goes to  their teachers. No  wonder always such
teachers are role models for children.  
The event started with Ganesh
Pradhana. Then event coordinator addressed the children briefly and gave
control to me. Half an hour time was allocated for the addressing. Thanking
kids with warm “Namstey  Children” [That is the culture there]
I  started my  session. All children in one voice said “Namste”.
I  talked to  them for 25 minted with lot of examples of Indian
leaders. The leaders cited in the talk were Gandhi, Vivekananda, Sir Moksha
Gundam Visveswarayya with emphasis on Gandi Ji. I explained how each one of
them can become good leaders. 
Children showed lot of interest
and listened carefully  all through the address. At  the end pledge
was read out by me and all the children in one voice repeated the pledge.  Later
Principal Smt Satya addressed the children briefly  and the meeting was
concluded. 
It was a wonderful experience and
I  extend my  thanks for the PMI-PCC for conducting this event.
Please find the snaps taken at  the following facebook page.

Hello all,
Good morning.
I have completed 
conducting ISLD celebration at "Vivekananda Public School for 
Underpriveleged" and I am very happy to share my experience.
Just
 a brief description about the school: this school was started by a man 
called Mr.Murthy almost 30years ago. It provides free education to 
underprivileged people. Currently it runs classes from 1st standard to 
10th.
This school runs by donations and has a board of directors that include some senior IAS officers. 
I
 have
 been in touch with the management for last one week and asked them to 
circulate the message early enough to at least class leaders so that 
they can lead the pledge. I wanted this way because instead of me or 
some other teacher reading it, I felt it
 would be great if students do that: just like charity begins at home, 
leadership should begin at school!
Along with 2
 other colleagues, I went to the school at 8:30AM. After finishing 
regular assembly, group of class leaders read the message and everyone, including us, repeated the message.
After that, one teacher explained the message line by line. 
Next,
 I asked them to name at least one person who they consider as a leader 
(but that name should not be associated with any national or any other 
public personality). Examples came from within the students. That was a 
wonderful experience. Another teacher explained how one should behave 
and how one can become as a leader. Entire discussion was about the 
students only, we haven't talked about any person outside the school. I 
again wanted this because, I wanted a strong connection.
Overall,
 the program went very fine, which took me back to some 20years. I hope 
you people also would have experienced the same and I am eager to hear 
your experiences.
I really thank PMI-PCC, for initiating such a wonderful program. 
Best regards

Dear Friends,
I had 
the opportunity to conduct the ISLD at Govt High School, Darga, Hyd and 
the session was well received by the Students and Teachers. I felt 
immensely happy
 to be among them talking about the importance of developing leadership 
competencies among students. One of the Student came forward and 
conducted the Leadership Pledge (Video attached and also available at

Hi Nagini,
Today I went to Sri Aurobindo International School. They have 
assembled their 7th, 8th and 9th students. The strength was around 
120~150. Since they said they have Video projector in place I shared 
with them 2 inspiration videos and a presentation on leadership. In 
between we had interactive sessions where in students shared their views
 on the video clippings and leadership qualities. 
I requested a student volunteer to read out the pledge which all the students along with took the pledge.
Management has appreciated the show very and they have requested a repeat of the performance on 10th for their 10th standard students, who were not able to attend because of their preparatory exams.
I have taken few snaps and will share with team later.
Overall the response was very Great!!
Thanks for the oppurtunity

Hello Nagini,
Hello Nagini,
I went to Brilliant Grammar School at Masab tank first. This school
 has been taking the pledge from the past 2 years. This is the 3rd year.
 It is impressive to see that though the school doesnt have enough 
infra-structure, they have a commitment towards the students progress. 
Since the school does not have a big auditorium to assemble all students, the head boy and head girl went to each class and took the students thru the pledge. Before the pledge, the head boy and girl gave a brief speech about leadership which inspired the students. Later, we assembled on the terrace with 9th Std students. The prinicipal suggested that I give a brief speech to the students, but I suggested that the school head boy deliver the speech and take the pledge. After that, I spoke for a few minutes to inspire the students. The principal, Ms Chandana, said that the students were happy to see a PMI-PCC member spend some time with them. :-)
The school will send you the pictures soon.
From there, I went to the Royal Institute of Technology 
and Sciences (RITS) near Lakdi-ka-pul. Since the MBA students are going 
to have their exams soon, the attendance was less - about 50 of them 
attended.
Since this was the first exposure about ISLD, SLCB and PMIPCC to 
the students, I gave them an introduction about these via a 
presentation. They had arranged for a projector, so, it became easy for 
me to give the presentation as well as take the students thru the 
pledge. Some of these students are already working or have business of 
their own. So, it was difficult to expect much enthusiasm from this 
group.
But, at the end, as I was about to leave, some students came 
forward and requested for a copy of the pledge !!!! This really gave me a
 deep sense of satisfaction, as college students do not get inspired as 
easily as school children do. I had some print outs of the pledge handy 
which I gave to them readily. The management too is eager to get the 
SLCB course conducted in their institution (both for MBA students as 
well as the Engineering college which is in Damergidda, Chevella, R.R 
District, AP. I hope to do so in the month of March with the help of 
other volunteers. 
I will be sharing the photos soon.
As I sit, typing this email, I have a smile on my face - a smile of contentment and satisfaction. 
Thanks to PMI-PCC for this initiative and helping me in realizing 
my dreams of "giving-back-to-the-society" through this endeavor.
Regards
Nuzhath. :-)

Hi All,
After conducting the ISLD event at Z P High School, Kottaguda, Hyderabad, I have joined Sumit Mathur at Meridian School, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
Adding on to Sumit's summarization, it was an eventful session and was a great success. The best part was that the entire session was more interactive than a one way presentation or a lecture. I look forward to participate in more such events in the coming days.
Please find some pictures taken during the sessions.

Hi Nagini & All,
For your update – I had a very satisfying experience conducting
the 3 sessions of ISLD workshop today i.e. 2 at Meridian School, Madhapur(collaborating
with around 500 future leaders of the nation), Madhapur between 9:00 AM to
12:30 PM and 1 session at Meridian School, Banjara Hills(covering 159 future
leaders of our nation).
I shall share the feedback and snaps from both the schools as
soon as I receive them from the school folks. Meanwhile, Kishore has also taken
a few snaps at Banjara Hills – I would request Kishore to share the same.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to PMIPCC
leadership team for all their klnd help, support and guidance.
Hope you all have a wonderful day, ahead.

Dear Friends,
I am excited to see the mails from our passionate volunteers since morning about their experiences with the ISLD event today.
I
  would like to thank all of you and your friends and colleagues who 
joined us to make ISLD 2012 felt across the educational institutions.
Its because of the valuable time and efforts from each one of you which made this event such a great experience.
Some of these institutions were new to us and some already are in our league of ISLD since 1-2 years.
Conducting the ISLD at Government schools and 
under privileged schools, was real great contribution towards building 
future leaders.
My sincere thanks to Suresh, Venkatesh, Srinivasu, Sanath and Sandhya to support me in this assignment.
I feel privileged to be leading such a good initiative and my hearty congratulations to all of us on our accomplishment today.
Thanks and Regards,
Nagini.Chandramouli,PMP,
