Details of Best Practices
Title of the Practice:
Value Addition
Personality Development
Military Training Camp
Amity Human Value Quarter
The Context that required initiation of the practice:
Value education is extremely important to help everyone in improving the value system that he
or she holds and put them to practice. Once, we understand our values in life, we can examine
and control the various choices we make in our lives. With modern developments and a fast
changing role of the parents, it has not been very easy for the parents to impart relevant values in
their wards; therefore the role of teachers in imparting these essential values becomes vital. This
makes it all the more indispensable for the teacher training institutes to incorporate value
education and equip future teachers to meet the ever rising needs of the modern society with
respect to code of conduct and values.
Objectives of the Practice:
Inculcation of virtues and habits
Fostering consideration for others- principle of equality and dignity of the individual
To bring about personality development with regard to the different behavioral
dimensions
To build a strong character
To gain add-ons and enhancements to their personality
To acquaint with the rich and diverse cultural heritage of India
The Practice:
Personality Development: Regular personality development classes aim at the holistic
development of students. Wide areas and issues ranging from Stress management,
motivation, self analysis, enhancing interview skills, conflict management, resume
designing, teachers personality, self-esteem, disaster management, attitude, effective
listening, creativity, sustainable development are covered that help in the grooming of
the trainee teacher. The main advantage of these classes is that the trainee teachers realize
their self worth and are better equipped to face the challenges of the outer world and can
effectively strike a balance between professional and personal life.
Military Camp: In accordance with the National Youth Policy which envisages that the
youth of the country should spend at least one fifth of their time spent in an educational
institution on out door activities, our Respected Founder President has directed that a
seven days compulsory Military Training Camp for all PG students of Amity institutions
be organized. Accordingly, The Amity Indian Military Education Society has established
a Military Training camp in tented accommodation, at the Amity Education Valley,
Manesar, to give the PG Students an exposure to outdoor life in a natural habitat and
fulfill some of the objectives as enshrined in the National Youth Policy. The military
training camp is named as “Amity Green Horn Military Training Camp “.
Amity Human Value Quarter: It presents a kaleidoscope of well planned and structured
activities spread over a quarter and crafted to address wide avenues -Diversity in the
culture of various states, Indian poets of ancient, medieval and modern eras, Regional
songs and Dances, Indian Art and Craft, Regional craftsmanship and Jewellery. The
heterogeneous wide- ranging presentations are given by students with zeal and
dynamism.
Obstacles faced if any and strategies adopted to overcome them
Wrong perceiving and lack of intelligent handling of the vast knowledge obtained is an obstacle.
The students are at a learning stage and somewhere feel constrained and limited in the projection
and management of the enormous information gained. This is where the guidance and experience
of the faculty act as a saviour. To cater to this requirement the students are divided into groups
and each group is provided with a mentor who helps in channelising their energies by directing
them towards the right path.
Time is another factor that imposes limitations to the amount of familiarity to Indian heritage
that we want our students to possess. The plethora of knowledge that we want to share with
students is restricted by the time factor due to academic pressures. We feel delimited due to the
course period, since the time is less and there is lot to be achieved. To overcome this barrier the
Amity Human Value Quarter comes to our aid.
Impact of the Practice:
To quote the valuable words of Dr. (Mrs.) Amita Chauhan, Chairperson, Amity International
Schools (AIS) “Values happen to be the very way of life. It is the responsibility of us human
beings to metamorphose the term and idea of Human Values to hard core implementation in
every small or big way possible to be able to contribute to Nation building. Humility and love are
the greatest assets of the universe. When there is humanity in mankind, then there is order in the
Nation.”
Dr. Ashok K Chauhan, Founder President, Amity University believes ''Education should not
merely be the acquisition of degrees but the acquisition of traditional and spiritual knowledge
and values of the country one belongs to.'' He says, people responsible for setting up higher
institutions of learning and governing them should firstly themselves believe in the values of
goodwill, tolerance and helping out the underprivileged.
Value addition gives a great opportunity to bond with humility and human values. Working on
these grounds the Amity Human Value Quarter instills in its students humbleness, modesty,
obedience, empathy, altruism and moral values. This quarter exposes them to the rich
accumulated wealth of knowledge which has been forgotten over the years. Through self driven
activities they explore, learn and appreciate the exceptionality and exclusivity of Indian culture.
They deep dive into the depths of Indian poetry, literature, folklore, and depict them through
various means like recitations, theatre, kavi-sammelan, puppet show, exhibitions, etc. This
familiarizes them with the intricacies and richness of the culture they are born into.
Another unique initiative of Amity is the military training camp, which has managed to inculcate
an essence of camaraderie and brotherhood amongst its students. It has been successful in
providing an opportunity to the participants to understand the work ethos and the broader details
about the Armed Forces.
The camp exposes the students to subjects of general awareness such as Disaster management,
Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological Threat and Counter measures etc. They also
become aware of the essentials of physical well-being and fitness.
The class observations reveal that students more actively participate in group activities and group
discussions after attending this camp. It is their vital opportunity of being a part of adventure
related training and sports activities in an eco – friendly and pollution free environment. The
camp has many matchless programmes which comprises of activities like parasailing, trekking,
shooting and many other activities that test their mental and physical agility
Discipline is the soul of Camp life. Discipline in general imply following the laid down regimen
strictly with particular reference to punctuality, correct dress code, response and strict adherence
to the laid down instructions and general sense of orderliness. All participants observe and
follow the decided code of conduct and try to inculcate this inevitable quality in their routine life.
Sensitization towards the contribution and role of the armed forces, coping with the hardships,
working as the member of a cohesive unit, realizing the importance of discipline in life and
building of a strong character is the essence of this training. It is a week long training completely
sponsored by the institute and is a life time experience for them to cherish
Another important feature of the Value Addition is the Personality Development classes;
personality development quintessentially means enhancing and grooming one’s outer and inner
self to bring about a positive change in life. Believing in the notion that each individual has a
distinct persona that can be developed, polished and refined, we strive to bring a positive change
through these classes.
This process includes boosting confidence, improving communication and language speaking
abilities, widening the scope of knowledge, developing certain hobbies or skills, learning fine
etiquettes and manners, adding style and grace to the way one looks, talks and walks and overall
imbibing oneself with positivity, liveliness and peace.
Amity believes in not just developing achievement oriented skills but also developing humane
values in students. To help students become an efficient team member and effective leader,
various special classes on leadership, teamwork and analytical skills are held. The Value
Addition gives students opportunities to participate in activities and events outside the academic
arena and to gain practical experience. These opportunities enrich and enhance the outlook of
students towards life. They become more sentient, practical, adroit, confident, focused,
compassionate, responsible, and proficient.
