In today’s fast-changing world, it is necessary to constantly learn new skills. School doesn’t teach you how to learn and rather it teaches us what to learn..? We do exactly that. Self-study skills are self-learning from scratch -any subject.

Self-study must be accorded greater importance in the education system. In fact, if original, deep and self-reliant personality is to be developed, everyone should know the do’s and don’ts about how to study well on one’s own. At the very primary stage such as learning the alphabets and numbers, spoon-fed training will be necessary. But as soon as a student is literate and on his own, he must explore his horizons on his own. A teacher’s job is to point out the horizons and to encourage the student to explore them; not to lead the student everywhere by the hand all the time. So the students must absorb the art of self-study. This involves training in faster reading and better reading, taking down good notes (of books, discussions, speeches; and solving question papers – objective type or essay type) and use of an encyclopedia. And the word self-study conveys two meanings – study by self and study of self.

Education should give maximum importance to helping a student to awaken his creativity; (character formation comes above creativity development. But it is taken for granted. Without character, creativity turns demonic). We now have available scientific methods to awaken and develop creativity. These methods continue to be further refined through improvement and correction because creativity development does not follow a simple and straight mathematical formula like 2+2 is 4. In fact, a human being can never be fully defined in a mathematical framework. It is impossible to fathom this creature. In spite of being aware of all these facts, creativity development is the top priority subject in the Foundation Course for the Best MPSC Classes in Pune.

Not only do we need a great personality,we also need 21st century skills – But for what? For the service of motherland. In this module we will learn about following subjects. This subject will also be made more appearing through a variety of media, including books,movies,documentaries, and podcasts.

“There are no defeats in life, there are only victories or lessons to be learnt”

One of the subjects that forms part of Chanakya Mandal Parivar’s Foundation course is crowd management. Every year Chanalya Mandal Parivar manages the crowd with the Pune Police to give the students a hands-on experience of the subject. It is also intended that the future officials can directly interact with the people through this activity.

Students of Chanakya Mandal participates in the management of the procession for 24 hours on Anant Chaturdashi. It aims to develop mental strength in students.

1.Monsoon Trek

At the beginning of the foundation course, we take children on a trek to Korigarh during monsoons. The aim of this trek is to let the children know about the forts, their history and their conservation. Also during this trek different activities related to team building, leadership and management are conducted.

2.Winter Trek

Usually in the month of January or February, this residential trek to Rajgad tests the willpower of the students. Various competitions are organized as part of this trek.

“प्रयत्ने वाळूचे कण रगडिता तेल ही गळे”

The first term of the foundation course ends with a fort building activity.In this, groups of students are formed and assigned the responsibility of building a fort. The fort of the students is completed before diwali.

In order to give scope to the various talents of the students, to create a platform for it, the ‘Artist of the Month’ competition is held every month in the foundation course.Students are given at least three subjects in this competition. Students have to present these subjects through their own art. Students participate in this competition through many art forms like painting,poetry,writing,dance,sculpture.

“Art is an absolute medium to express the Creativity within you”

We are moving forward in the era of ‘industry 4.0’.In it Globalization,intense competition,ever-changing technology, and the impact of that technology on the world are all challenges. An international report says that, if career choices are not made wisely, 

“65  percent of existing jobs will disappear in the near future”.

So while deciding and building a career, we have to consider many changing dimensions, with this Industry 4.0.

Therefore, this course teaches what exactly students should do, self-study-flexibility and continuous multi-dimensional learning.

“जो दुसऱ्यावरी विश्वासला| त्याचा कार्यभाग बुडाला | जो आपणचि कष्टत गेला| तोचि भला ||”

Whatever the problem, scientific techniques have now been developed to solve them by analyzing them, considering all the probable options without any shackles on the intellect, categorizing the options and then reaching the solution. Basic to these techniques is the science of how to think, the realization that an independent thought process is possible and the techniques of independent thinking. Each alternative has its own plus and minus points. The step of reaching one’s own decision after a deep and comparative study of each of the alternatives is important. The responsibility for a decision taken in such a manner lies with no one else but us. It’s very important to accept responsibility for one’s own decision, even if it is proved to be wrong.

A little child starts taking its first steps. Stumbles down. Generally when it falls what do we say? ‘Oh, my dear child! Who made you fall? This table… damn it! This chair… hell to it!’ Unknowingly what are we teaching this kid? If you fall, it’s because of someone else. And if you walk nicely, then ‘you are the bundle of all virtues put together.’ At least now our kids are not infants. At least now they should be taught to take their own decisions. They should be told, ‘we will help you in the brainstorming, but let the decision be yours.’ In the future, they won’t get depressed, once they learn to take responsibility for their decision. How to solve problems confronting one in real life without being bogged down or without surrendering to them is another priority subject in the Foundation Course. (All the subjects that follow are priority subjects. So no need to keep repeating the priority statement).

Presenting one’s view is communication. Whether it is to be presented to one person, two or a group. Even if it is to be presented to oneself and for oneself, it is communication only. Dialogue with self is a beautiful experience in communication. Communication can be written involving training in writing skills. It can be verbal, meaning public speaking skills (discussion, participation in and conduct of group discussion; listening to others without uttering a word, ability to listen carefully and being a good listener are also important skills). Even our merely being there, not saying a word with movements, getting up and sitting, speech, eyes, and face to communicate. Our very silence can say a lot. This is body language. Systematic training in all these has been included in the Foundation Course. It is vital to be able to present our view, to first have the necessary confidence to do that, to have a clear perception of our view and basically to have something to say – often those who have nothing to say keep talking and those who have something worth saying are reluctant speakers, remain silent and are ignored. There is an apt saying in Marathi: those who can shout can sell even cucumber but those who cannot, cannot sell even Alphonso mangoes. That is why the need for training in communication skills.

“Who you are to speak so loudly i can’t hear what you’re saying”

Management skills have assumed great importance all over the world. And rightly so. At this stage, it will not be necessary to teach the students a lot of theory, mathematics, models, and graphs. Here, the emphasis will be on simple management skills for everyday use in life such as how to manage one’s various responsibilities; how to set priorities; how to increase efficiency; how to plan one’s work; and, very important, how to manage time. This training will help the student to absorb these skills so as to make one’s personality and work more impressive and oneself more efficient. It may include classroom teaching as well as be conducting outdoor management games.

Leadership skills do not mean leadership in the political sense. It means taking initiative in every work in hand in all walks of life; doing things on one’s own; and cultivating traits necessary for achieving success. Just as this leadership is not political leadership, it is also not leading other persons or groups. It is leading oneself. This is a vital skill to be acquired during the training.

It is not necessary that every person should have a multidimensional personality. Some may have so great a single dimension – playing or singing talent, humor or skill at administration – that all other dimensions will not only pale into insignificance but will also prove to be meaningless and ignorable. This can happen after one has chosen one’s field of work. In fact, unless something of this kind happens, it will be impossible to achieve towering success and contribute something fundamental in any field. But that comes later. It is crucial to blossom and develops along all the lines while one’s character is formed during the young days. Therefore, it is necessary to consciously expose oneself to as many fields as possible and bloom in a multidimensional way. So the Foundation Course for IAS IFS IPS IRS MPSC UPSC Coaching Classes in Pune will show the students good films. There will be sessions on how to appreciate films. The students will be acquainted with all the aspects of drama, music, literature, science, arts, and sports. No one knows when one strikes the right note of his/her life. When one does so, who knows, these students may devote their whole life to one of the fields. They will reach the heights of success there. But before striking that note, one should at least get introduced to all the fields. This is the basic concept behind all the effort.

The students will get the experience of story-telling, bird-watching, stargazing and trekking through hills and valleys. They will have to perform given tasks singly, in twos or groups. They will have practical exercises like residential camps in tents outside the city, living in rural areas, participating in shramayadnya meaning physical labor, plowing fields, digging trenches, building roads and constructing latrines. It is vital for the new generation to imbibe the principle of the dignity of labor through such experiences.

The science of yoga is a major heritage not only of India but also in the entire world. Basic training in yoga should become a compulsory part of all the educational systems all over the world. Postures, pranayama, healthy dietary habits and ˜dhyana (concentration – meditation) form part of the training in the Foundation Course. All young boys and girls must go in for an exercise in a big way during the personality development process. The exercise should include yogic postures, sit-ups, Surya namaskars, weight training or aerobics. Students will be introduced to all these forms. It will be up to them to choose later for themselves what they like.

The Foundation Course will introduce the students to various educational and professional courses. Today, there is a general misconception that only certain educational courses like engineering and medicine, or certain professions (in Maharashtra, only jobs) mean a successful life. The Maharashtrian middle class nurtures only one ambition – somehow get and stick to a clerical job. Away from these beaten tracks, there are many new educational and professional possibilities. The new generation should be more and more aware of the possibilities of self-employment.

The Foundation Course will take on that task.  Chanakya Mandal Pariwar also conducts an independent, full-fledged course on Entrepreneurship Development. We make it a point to introduce it to the Foundation Course students.

Several youngsters unnecessarily nurse a fear-complex about written and especially spoken English. Of course, excellent command over English is an essential prerequisite to success in the global competition. (Not only English, but you must also be fluent in Marathi, Hindi, Kannada, Bengali, etc). The Foundation Course will provide you training in that.
