More than just a facilitator, a teacher is a harbinger of change, it is though said that students have immense power to facilitate new forms and voice out opinions, education provides the opportunity to reflect and engage various questions associated with life and its goals. . To make education of any importance it is essential to form opinions in regard to critical reasoning and contemplation. To extend this approach to all disciplines in academia the Department of Philosophy P.G.G.C.G - 11, out of an ocean of subjects, chose one of the most vital subjects that can be applied to students like us in our everyday lives —- Psychology. Prof. Renu Somal, Head of the Psychology Department (P.G.G.C.G. -11) delivered the lecture as resource person moderated by Dr. Ambuj Sharma, Head of the Philosophy Department (P.G.G.C.G. - 11). A humble, not-so-fancy dialogue rather quintessential; from a very learned, experienced and an eminent personality progressed. In the contemporary world it’s less about advancing a subject in universities, it’s more about investing in ourselves — the tasks of the teacher is more than just ‘instilling’, it’s ‘grooming’ and ‘learning’. No matter if the teacher has all superlative degrees, no teacher can ever reach to the zenith without a student. From various fields of academics when students come together to study the concepts and step out of their comfort zone to learn and know about a subject then it goes beyound the domains of just cramming to overall growth and development of students. When a problem in an individual is described it is easier to get to a solution. Problems of inhibiting factors, low self-esteem, lack of selfefficacy can be dealt with by concept-clarity, acceptance and empathy. For a student it is best to create a ‘safe-space’ out of their ‘comfort-zone’, one must extend their boundaries through peer-group learning as this is one of the most convenient ways. Talking about psychology as a subject, it not just a theory but an ‘applied science’, the beauty of it lies in the fact that it can be used in our daily lives creatively. The main focus of the lecture-cum-discussion was to inform and engage dialogue about their present conditions and how can a teacher, their relation and an academic subject can help improve our relation with self and others. No knowledge is ever gained if it doesn’t leave you inquisitive. A fruitful, cultured seminar was concluded with this question-answer session and a thank you to all the attendants, for their reverence was paid gratitude with a group photograph.
