National Students Leadership Training Program 2023

When I look back on the past event NATIONAL STUDENTS LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM

Organized by YCS/YSM INDIA. From November 9-14, 2023 at Lucknow UTTAR PRADESH

It was a very good time, memorable and pleasant Weather. It’s my pleasure to attend this program, though I had participated in many other programs in My diocese and region each program gave me a unique lesson to renew and improve myself. 

The opportunity gives us to channel our dreams and goals and learn to live & grow in life.

Let's begin.... I met new friends from different states, I spoke to them about myself , made friends with them, and even clicked pics with them. I am very happy that whenever I go to another state I have atleast one friend over there. Coming to the funniest moments. 

Running around the verandas singing dancing in Dometries was the best part .sharing our train journey experience the tuk tuk rides and many more... Coming to our best refreshments .The food which was provided for us was very tasty. Especially the chilly which made me cry... Even now I am missing it.

We had our top entertainment by Emmanuel sir from Tamilnadu region who made us laugh throughout NSLTP by teaching us different claps  new jokes etc. The claps will  be unforgettable

The best part was talking  to each other sharing our thoughts laughing singing learning different languages from each other etc in the refectory was amazing. Keeping all enjoyment aside. We had sessions , exposures, and inter religious prayers.. And interacting activities which made our bond to be more stronger with each other. 

We had to perform cultural program and we saw new culture and traditions from other regions which was new to us. We enjoyed seeing their traditional program given by them. A group was formed where all were new to me we started introducing ourselves. And slowly our bond was so  strong that now also I miss each one who gave me thier support and love. These cell meetings which made me to open up answer interact and share. 

Last but not the least My heart felt gratitude to Fr. Chetan who is always supportive and showing all the love towards youth. Thank you Fr. For your wonderful sessions and lessons. Thank you Anson and team for your guidance and love . 

Fr. Pius, Mr. Jimmy padang, Ashitha, Abhishek, thank you for your love and guidance you have given me. In always .

Had small talks introduced ourselves to eachother and clicked pictures with them to create some memories.Now I am glad that I have made friends from different regions .Talking about the program location Navintha Pastoral centre it was full of beautiful big gardens and beautiful brides.they provided well maintained dometries and good food . The chilling cool  nights and mornings made our day wonderful .Every day begins with daily mass followed by breakfast and countless activities talks and action songs.
