GITAM Institute of Management is a pioneer
in introducing Outbound Training for the students of Management and has been
successfully conducting OBT for the last seven years. Outbound Training is an
established corporate training tool in Western countries and has gained
popularity in India as well. Based on the philosophy of Dr. Kunt Hahn, OBT is
all about providing opportunities for self-discovery, personality development
and social skills through outdoor exposure.
The innovative experiential learning
program is based on the ancient Indian Gurukul system where princes would be
trained to become kings through real life learning. This training equips students
with basic skills to become successful management professionals. It inculcates true leadership skills with a
human touch and enables the students to rejuvenate in a stress-free atmosphere
away from the mundane world. They learn not only to face new
challenges in difficult circumstances but also to effectively work with people.
It leads to synchronization of mind, body and soul and enables them to develop
fitness, self-reliance, interpersonal skills and bonding though the new
challenges in a new adventure-setting with a new group. A “once-in-a-lifetime”
experience, OBT is aimed at helping students discover their
own inner selves and their goals in life. It is hoped that, this time too, as
in the past, students would benefit greatly from the experience and emerge as
individuals transformed for the better.

the corporate world and to establish themselves in the field of
entrepreneurship. From her rich experience, she presented inspiring examples of several women entrepreneurs.
Ms.
Datla compared the GDP of the India and the U.S. and opined that India too
could have a high GDP like the U.S. if the economic potential of the female
population was fully utilised. She
quoted a survey in 1999 by IIT graduates which found that only 6% of women in
India are working. 48% of the Indian population is female and has a
responsibility to contribute to the GDP. Women’s contribution, she felt would
lead to positive social impact, greatly foster overall economic growth and
reduce poverty . She opined that women make better entrepreneurs because they
are good at multi-tasking, excel in building relationships and are superior in
emotional intelligence. Calling for a greater representation for women in all
areas, she emphasized that if Indian women contributed 10% more to the GDP,
then India’s GDP could easily be 8%. She gave six tips or six ups to the
students about leadership –SHOW UP, SPEAK UP, LOOK UP, TEAM UP, DON’T GIVE UP
and LIFT OTHERS UP. She ended by saying, "Leadership isn't something you
just do, it's something you become." A large number of female students,
