Program: JCI NATCON
Date : 27 to 30, Dec 2013
Place : Raja Muthiah Mandram, Madurai
Host : Jaycees of Zone -XVIII
Last year, the NATCON was held at Thrissur and that showed the strength of Jaycees on how such a national event with members coming from all over India can be managed efficiently.
The Jaycees of Zone-18 have done an commendable work with dedication in co-coordinating various tasks such as accommodation, venue, facilitation for various programs at the venue, catering, General assembly arrangements, Inauguration ceremony, Promotion of the NATCON all over India and the list goes on... We felt nothing but their hospitality and sincere efforts.
This year we had a strong 10 member registration from our chapter and we all traveled by train to the Temple city Madurai.
We could manage both business and pleasure and visited various locations in and around Madurai. First visit being the visit to "Tiruchulli" the Birth place of Sri Ramana Maharishi, the humble spiritual leader and how opt it is that our JCI creed starts with "Faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life...".
We witnessed the grand opening ceremony at the open auditorium of Gandhi Museum. We had the opportunity to listen to our World President Jc Shine T Bhaskaran sharing his experience of how JCI has shaped his career and helped him reach the highest position in JCI. We were also treated with various cultural entertainment. To prove that JCI encourages young active citizen, We witnessed the live rapid fire paintings by one of the speed artist Vials Naik. what an amazing talent that was!. JCI India honored him with a "Outstanding Youth Person" (OYP) award.. Lots of his shows are available on youtube..
Various training programs were conducted by NTTS prime graduates. Our chpater members participated in the Effective Public speaking contest on the topic of "Life is a matter of convenience, yes or no?" This year the interest in EPS was so great that there were more than 30 participants. Last year's EPS winner Jc Sheetal Gandhi who reached international JCI EPS competition shared few trips and tricks.
We also attended various General assembly sessions and first hand witnessed the entire proceedings being conducted as per CAPP procedure.
Apart from all the intellectual, networking benefits, we also got some materialistic returns for the Rs 2000 registration fees we paid. Excellent Veg and Non Veg Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner for all the days and also snacks in between, good quality backpack bag.... Since we paid the registration fees (thanks to the efforts of our Secretary and VP G&D), to NATCON representatives at the ZONECON venue October itself, we also got a very fine T-shirt as a special gift.
We have already blocked our calenders for NATCON 2014, won't you?
