Special thanks to Chief Coordinator- Dilip Patel for anchoring the entire workshop and making it a grand success.

In his own words Dilip summaries the workshop as
" Dear all,

A big thank you to all in making the just concluded w/s with the staff of the Secretariat, GOK a big success.

Ravi for being available throughout, and setting the tone of the inner development along with the inimitable Amit. The session on relationships created a good discussion amongst the participations beyond the classroom!

Amit was superb in every thing he did- be it the songs (solo, and with Ravi as well as in chorus with others), or the sessions on 'unmasking', 'from here to there', and sharing the stories of rural school and turning around of the hospital as the project born out of QT triggers etc They were all indeed invaluable.

Deepak Mullick, as usual, cast his magic through the session on 'ethical governance' and 'honesty', replete with his stories of giving back many fold to his University, his parents, and later charting the path of honesty and growth in the corporate world.

Sarosh, with his slightly altered presentation on Leadership, Love and Fear etc created a deep impression on the participants. some continuing discussion wit Sarosh at the lunch table was the testimony.

Leni's trust dances, and the appreciative inquiry did the expected magic by creating impact about importance of trust in relationships, and team building, and making each and every participant aware of their own potentials, values and talents which had worked for them under adverse conditions.

Pravir's presentation on 'building bridges' was amazing. Personal contemporary stories of apology and restitution in family, work place and the social environments with documentary evidences presented did an exemplary job. Pravir was never in such elements before! Keep it up Pravir, kudos to you.

Prof. RR came in as a fresh breeze, and swept away every one with the facts and figures about the environmental issues. His presentation compelled us to think that no future programs will be complete without the session on environmental concerns. Thank you, sir, for sparing your valuable time. It was truly an eye opener experience for many.

Aswini , Navendu and Arjun handled the post dinner programs with zeal and maturity. They earned the admiration and respect from the 'younger' lot. Decision by a few of the participants to send their children/friends to up coming youth conference at Asia Plateau was a testimony enough. Cheers to you guys.

Lakshmi brought a new talent in the form of Prabha who invoked the Gods with her melodious voice, apart from participating with full enthusiasm. Apart from this, Lakshmi and the other senior facilitators handled the family group meetings with maturity and wisdom.

Saju and Suresh managed the entire admin in front, and behind the scenes effectively. I must thank Jija too here for rendering the silent services.

So, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It was a great team effort."
