They discussed resiliency, goal-setting, and disciplined stress management. According to the Ministry of Education, they also discussed personal stories from their own lives and the lessons they have learned from participating in sports.
Mary Kom spoke about how she challenged cultural stereotypes of boxing as a sport that is not for women, not just for herself but also for women nationwide. Reflecting on her 20-year journey as a daughter, wife, and mother, she cited PM Modi’s statement that one should become their own anchor. She also emphasized the value of hard effort, saying that success is the result of commitment and tenacity.
Suhas Yathiraj recognized fear as a significant barrier to achievement and urged pupils to use their mental strength to conquer it. He emphasized that the only way to perform spontaneously and achieve success is to overcome fear. Using the quote, “To shine like the Sun, one must be ready to burn like the Sun,” he exhorted pupils to face obstacles head-on with fortitude and will. In order to channel good energy, he also introduced them to music therapy. He also emphasized the need of conscious thinking, as one’s thoughts determine their fate.
Avani Lekhara emphasized the value of skill development, describing how mastering the appropriate abilities boosts self-esteem and lowers anxiety. Using analogies from athletics, she emphasized the need for rest and recuperation in the classroom and promoted getting enough sleep before tests to guarantee optimal performance. According to the Ministry of Education, she also led pupils through a confidence-boosting exercise.
Students asked questions on remaining focused, building the fortitude to overcome obstacles, and persuading parents about career choices throughout the workshop. Students from Qatar and Dubai also took part, asking the visitors questions.
All of the speakers emphasized that nothing can be accomplished by taking quick routes and that hard effort is the key to success.
Prominent figures from a variety of backgrounds, such as athletes, technical specialists, test winners, members of the entertainment sector, and spiritual leaders, are providing pupils with perspectives beyond textbooks in order to guarantee holistic growth.
The Prime Minister engaged with 36 students nationwide in the first episode, covering enlightening subjects including Finding Positives, Mastering Pressure, Challenging Oneself, The Art of Leadership, Beyond Books–360o Growth, and Nutrition and Wellness. His insightful advice promoted a development mentality and all-encompassing learning while providing pupils with useful tactics to boldly face academic obstacles.
