Synergy through Self-Awareness and Personal Mastery

A Course held on 14th – 16th September, 2009

The NADT warmly welcomes the participants of ‘Synergy through Self-Awareness and Personal
Mastery’! We are happy about this opportunity to host this and are leaving nothing to chance
in ensuring that your stay and other arrangements made are rewarding and stimulating.
Please let us know by calling Extension No. 250 if anything is amiss or additionally required.

About the Course: For the Income Tax Department, these are times when tumultuous
change is the norm and it is in the complicated position of being both the part-causative
driver and the recipient of these movements. On the former front, it is essential to know
what it is doing and why it is doing so (or must do so). On the latter, reactive strategies to fast-
approaching changes could possibly be too little, too late. Therefore, as we go about our work
as public servants dedicated to the cause of furthering national interest and bettering the
public lot, it is imperative that we exercise our minds on the ‘know-whys’ of our
existence and objectives – professional and personal, individual and organizational.
Towards this, the following questions need to be carefully addressed: Why does the IRS exist
and what must be its objectives and destination? Why have IRS officers chosen to be a part of
the Income Tax Department and its larger setting, the Government of India? Why, in turn, do
the twain (i.e., the IT Department and the Government) exist? Answering these and other
questions in their asymptotically fullest sense(s) will help the Department know where it is and
must be headed. These mean understanding ourselves and the organization and achieving
near-complete alignment between the two. Consequently, the Programme seeks to:

• Help Know Ourselves (through Philosophy, Spirituality, Economics, Management

Psychology, Education, Physics, Chemistry, Organic Sciences and Mathematics.
• Help Know the Organization: through Economics, Finance, Sociology, Political Science,
Public Administration and Policy, Strategic, Operations and Marketing Management, etc

The Course is slated to occupy a timeframe of 3 days from 14th to 16th September, 2009 and
