The HR club of Poornaprajna Institute of Management prearranged an extension program ‘IN-SQUARE’ for the students of Udupi Zilla Kanakadasa Seva Samaja Trust on 10th February 2014 on INTERPERSONAL SKILLS.
Objectives of the program:
· To build the interpersonal skills of the participants.
· To enhance the communication skills of the participants.
· To help participants interpret other individuals.
Description/Report: The student co-ordinators displayed a number of infinite squares on the projection screen and asked individual participants to count within one minute. The participants were asked to write down the answer on a sheet and record the same. In this process the individual found it difficult to count the squares as it was little tricky. Immediately the participants were divided into teams and here the group had to count the squares and give away the answer. Now this became a little interesting as there were more members in the team which resulted in multiple ideas. And the team which was very quick in counting i.e., Team B were declared as the winners.
