As part of Deeksharmabh 2025, Uttaranchal Institute of Management organised an insightful session titled “Discover the Power of Self-Awareness for Self-Management” for the freshers on 13 August 2025.
The day commenced with the arrival of Prof (Dr) Pradeep Suri, Director, UIM; Prof (Dr) Tilottama Singh, HoD, UIM; and keynote speakers Dr Sushma Viladkar, Heartfulness Trainer and HELM State Coordinator; Mrs Rekha Hatwal; Mr Ankit Negi; and their team from Heartfulness. Prof (Dr) Pradeep Suri extended a floral welcome to the guests and delivered the opening address, introducing the speakers and setting the stage for an engaging session. This was followed by the ceremonial lamp-lighting and the University Kulgeet.
The inspiring talks encouraged students to look inward, manage their emotions effectively, and align purpose with discipline. Dr Viladkar emphasised the importance of connecting the mind, soul, and body, while trusting intuitive wisdom to become the best version of oneself. Mrs Hatwal spoke on recognising emotions early, practising mindfulness, and maintaining a balance between academic and emotional well-being. Mr Negi highlighted the significance of purpose, resilience and a growth mindset, urging students to treat their career as a trek—steady, adaptive, and progressive.
The session concluded with a heartfelt Vote of Thanks by Dr Bharti, who appreciated the valuable insights shared by the distinguished speakers and inspired students to carry forward these lessons in both their academic journey and personal growth.
