Hereby it is informed to all the people who are associated with this programme of Contributor personality.

This blog is an interactive panel, where in which we are going to put not only our views but something about our academics also, this is an initiative from student and by students and I would like to have more participation from all the others also.

I would like to initiate this blog with some prior information regarding our programme and lectures we have taken till now, so it will serve all of you as revision also, this will be having a discussion forum also and I am expecting some good comments on this, which can serve you good score.

Take care

Lectures till now

We have started the day with the discussion and understanding of the subject, Swami Vivkeanada Contributor Personality Programme, all of the student came with their doubts regarding the acceptance of the subject and understanding in detail of the same. i.e. the session  began with queries rather than explanation of the actual subject.

Gradually we turn to learn about the subject and their importance, so personality was still a confusing for us so we switched on to take some short personality check from the reference of Dr.Phil’s personality test which was so fruitful and subject was getting interesting also with the test. And then we move on to first exploration of the book.

Next lecture was contributed to the various exploration and example for the discussion on the basic difference of contributor and non – contributor. Various assignments given to the student and this initiative and innovation were discussed.

Further some task will be uploaded here and some of the literature related with our academics for further more explanations will be uploaded.

All of you are requested to join this blog, for their assignments, projects and preparation of the subject.

Thanking you all.


Till Then Enjoy the Festival of Kites.
