We are delighted to share glimpses of the recent contact class held from 7th to 11th January 2025 at the Academy of Human Resources Development (AHRD). It was truly a pleasure to welcome our scholars from the 2023 batch and our esteemed faculty members. The week was a vibrant blend of academic excellence, meaningful interactions, and community engagement, showcasing the essence of the AHRD experience.
We were fortunate to have an exceptional lineup of distinguished professors who enriched the sessions with their expertise:
We were privileged to have Prof. Rajesh Chandwani, IIMA & Chairman, Academy of HRD, who inaugurated the contact classes and conducted an insightful talk on case teaching and case writing, alongside Prof. Mayank Kumar, IIMB setting the tone for a transformative learning experience.
We were also delighted to have Prof. Mayank Kumar, IIMB, and Prof. Vimal Kumar M, IIM Calcutta, who facilitated a hands-on session on HR Analytics, offering practical insights to our scholars.
We were pleased to have Prof. Kathan Dushyant Shukla, IIMA, deliver a thought-provoking session on research ethics, emphasizing the importance of integrity in scholarly work.
Dr. Shreshtha Dabral, PhD, Director, AHRD, conducted a supportive and interactive hand-holding session to guide our scholars in their academic journey.
We were also grateful to have Dr. Ravisankar Jayaraman,Group Head, PPEG, Space Applications Centre (ISRO), share invaluable insights in a session titled "How to Navigate Journal Publications?"
Additionally, We were privileged to have Dr. D.M. Pestonjee, Chairman of the Academic Council, Co-Founder of the Academy of HRD, and Former Faculty at IIMA, facilitate a compelling session on โStressors or Loadsโ addressing critical challenges in managing stress effectively.
As part of our commitment to holistic development and community engagement, we arranged a heartwarming visit to a local blind school. This experience was truly humbling and inspiring, as we navigated through the darkness and gained a deeper appreciation for the resilience and strength of those with visual impairments.
To foster fellowship within the AHRD community, we also organized an informal dinner where faculty and scholars came together, sharing ideas, stories, and aspirations in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated faculty, passionate scholars, and everyone who contributed to making this event a resounding success.
