Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General from 1997-2006, wrote ,”In the 21st century, I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new, more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life, regardless of race and religion.” The true challenge of leadership is to maintain a vision for a better world.

Student leaders, Akshay Sivakumar and Siddarth P.C are nominated as delegates for Doha GOALS – a Leadership Conference- which will be held in Qatar between December 9 – 11, 2013. 

Who is a leader?

How does one feel being a student leader? On top of the world, right! Everyone looks up to you; you have a position… responsibility; you sport a badge proudly; you are called for every occasion there is in school….and….perks like missing classes…..life can’t be better!

Whoa…..wait a minute. Have you considered the flip side of the coin? You can’t put a foot out of line; people are always watching you; you constantly hear this din…….’You are a leader….how can you behave like this?’ There is pressure from all quarters.

The story is one of balance. Leadership roles teach students the art of oraganisation, interaction, communication, and many more ‘tions…’. It’s a package deal…though there are some banes, it’s definitely best platform to teach oneself and learn naturally.

Recently, under the auspices of tGELF, two students from Chettinad Hari Shree Vidyalayam were chosen to be a part of a young leaders forum Doha Goals, needless to say, set to be held in Doha, Qatar in December. Student leaders, Akshay Sivakumar and Siddharth P.C. were awarded this opportunity after careful scrutiny and thought process. From then on the journey began for the two youngsters.

They had to complete formalities like filling in application forms and other paper work. Once this was out of the way, and they got a go ahead from their mentors at tGELF, they started preparing for final act. At this conference, they will be, along with many other peers, in the company of prominent achievers in the sports arena.

The boys made their choice of topics from a given list. Preparations meant incessant research, long phone conversations with each other to concur on ideas and interacting with mentors and acharyas for input. They are expected to present their ideas at this conference.

The theme around Doha Goals is how young leaders can make a difference and a change. We wish our boys good luck in this endeavour! Waiting for the Big Day!
