JCI India Challenge

Dear JCI friends,

Warm greetings from National President.
Jaycee week is here again. Lets make it a very colourful, inspirational and vibrant Jaycee Week celebration.
This year, we have planned the Jaycee Week on the theme of UN SDG goals. JCI is partnering with United Nation
for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Being responsible citizens, we all need to inculcate the
habits in our day to day living which will help us to achieve the same. Few such habits are to preserve the nature,
optimum use of water, gender equality, cleanliness, save electricity, reduce carbon emissions, use more public
transport etc. "Big changes come with small effort" and I am sure we just need to put a small effort from our end to
achieve these goals. So my dear friends, let's inculcate good habits and small commitments ourselves and start
contributing.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every LOM and members for welcoming me in your respective
zones. I wish to inform you that I have completed my official visit to all the Zones of JCI India. My sincere thanks to
all the Zone Presidents, Zone Officers, NP Visit Coordinators, LOM Presidents and the loving members for their
dedication and commitment which help me to complete my visit. It has always been encouraging for me to be in
touch with the lovely members. You all are awesome and you are the back bone of our organization. Keep inspiring,
keep progressing
I wish to inform you all that JCI India has launched two training programs for the members. The one is National level
and another is International level program which will help our trainers to groom themselves according to the current
requirement of people. The first one is a higher level training program "JCI India Author" which can be persuaded
after passing NTTTS and second one is "JCI India ITS (International Training Summit - SAMURAI)" in which
international trainers deliver the training for the first time. I hope this will surely help our members a lot to learn the
new and Innovative techniques of trainings and leadership qualities.
I would like to inform you that I have been to all the major National and International events till date. I invite you all
to be there for the Bangalore NATCON. The host is all set to welcome you all with open heart and they have many
prizes and awards for you all. For those who have not registered for the NATCON, please register yourself at the
earliest.
I also like to invite you for the World Congress which is going to be held in the Quebec City, Canada. Register
yourself in maximum numbers as we are officially going to bid for the World Congress 2018 at Goa, India.
I would like to congratulate the editor and all the editorial board members for their exemplary work throughout the
year in publishing the JCI India official magazine Challenge in time. I am very much delighted to see the content of
the magazine. It's very much appreciable and informative. Wishing you all the success in future.

A JOURNEY

JASMINE 2016

My summer vacations were going on and on one fine

morning my father Jc Manish Shah told about a training
programme of National level organized by JCI India named
JASMINE hosted by JCI Nagfem at Nagpur.
I asked my father what is this JASMINE all about, what kind of
training will be given, whether it is a classroom training or
what etc. I was very excited to know about this. The host
team created a whatsapp group in which all my questions
were answered. Many circulars were shared in which all
detail information about JASMINE, about host, about
faculties, about all activities, competitions was given & the
most exciting the title of jasmine prince & princess.

OF DREAM
COME TRUE
kirti Shah, Class-VIII
Yashwardhan Shah,
Class-X
JCI JHARSUGUDA,
ZONE-IX
All participants were divided in 11 groups with different
names for each group & a unique jingle for each group.
We did many activities like making photo collage, drawing,
painting, visiting card with thumb impression, dancing,
master chef etc. In all activities we enjoyed a lot.

The training dates were from 9th June to 12th June 2016.
Finally the day came and on 8th night me, my elder brother
Yashvardhan & 8 others from Jharsuguda started our journey
for a wonderful training programme JASMINE.
Friends before this I have never attended any training
programme. This was my first experience so i was very much
excited. In train i was just thinking about activities, games,
faculties, accommodations, other participants, host-team.
I was little scared as for the first time i was going out of station
without my parents.

The Leader in You

In entertainment night we all were in our traditional wear & it

was looking like a Mini India is there in the campus.
We went for outing to visit Deekshabhoomi. It was nice
place. I made many friends. Last day we all gave our opinion
about each other by writing in their white t-shirts they wore.
Its a treasure for me. Though we all were from different
places/zones but enjoyed like a family.
Pilot faculty Sheetal mam was awesome, co-faculty Mita
mam & Dolly mam were really very caring, lovely &
energetic.They all taught us about self confidence, time
management, mind development, unity & team work,
attitude, beheviour management and goal setting.
Special thanks to host President Jc Varsha mam along with
Dharini mam and team for wonderful hosting.

We reached Nagpur. The host & our chepron Jc Archana

mam welcomed us. We all moved to the venue
Royal Gondwana Public School. we jumped out of bus
with our luggage & shouted with excitement seeing the large
campus of the venue. We had an introductions round with
the faculties & other participants. We all were very happy
& excited to meet faculties, host team & many new friends.
In inauguration JCI India National President Rajshree mam,
kakaji & Rajesh Agrawal sir really motivated me a lot with
their wonderful speeches.

I carried many memories which i will never forget. I wish i can

attend some more camps like this in future.

JASMINE camp was just like flower JASMINE

It was very refreshing, lovely & beautiful

Every morning we were waked up by Juhi didi at 4o clock &

then we were going for work out & exercise with lovely music.
We all enjoyed a lot with this new kind of experience. There
were around total 113 participants. Everyday there was
different delicious menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner with
sweets & yummy icecreams.

The Leader in You

Out of all the different types of training I was offered, the fourday Training Workshop of NALANDA is the far most powerful
because it gave exclusive one-on-one access to me, by
our Genius team of Trainers Experts like Harish Sir, Pramod Sir,
Nisha Mam and most Respected Godfather of JCI India
Vallabh Das sir!!!.

Hawwa.A. H. Hanjara , Zone XX

On First day, when we Entered, the Hospitality of JCI

Hyderabad Banjara was so overwhelming that we all felt it as
our Mothers Place. The Legend Gallery had to be
Appreciated which insisted that how Jci had influenced
many people to Develop themselves Better and to be a
Shining Star in the Planet.
On Second Day, we were asked to do a Group Activity, to
exhibit our Creativity and Togetherness. In the Afternoon

development. This Sessions was Highly Thought Provoking.

various Talents of Participants.
On Third Day, it was Action Based Activity Session, which is
called Out Bound Training. We entered in to tyres from one
side to another side at various heights, got our legs tied to
cross the end lines and Finally the Rope Walk..Wowwhat

the Participants Reached Skies that we forget that we are
doing group activity and started motivating each other then
and there. Evening Session was NALANDA BASH were we
truly enjoyed Dancing and it is Full on Entertainment.
The Fourth was Auspicious Day, because it was August 15th,
our Independence Day. We were the one who are
Genuinely Celebrating the Indias Independence as
Different Participants from Different Parts of India Joined

Last but not Least, Our Nepalian Participants added
Happiness to the Event. In the Graduating Function, we all

Im not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other
side of the world, says Mary Anne Radmacher, the author of
Lean Forward into your Life This is true of me too I have
changed my perceptions, my outlook towards life
everything has changed... after the trip to New York to attend
the 2016 JCI Global Partnership Summit
It was a proud moment for me to accompany our beloved
National President JCI Sen. Rajshree Bhaje to New York
representing JCI India at the summit. The whole trip, and the
fun we had, would fill an entire book if you ask me! It was
really like a fairy tale experience. From boarding the doubledecker flight from Abu Dhabi to New York, the stay in the 5star luxury Headquarters Hotel Waldorf Astoria, the New York
City Sight Seeing Bus tours, visiting well-known places like the
New York Stock Exchange, the Empire State Building,
Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, the fun filled photo
sessions at the Rockefeller Center, the late night walks
through the streets of New York, the first views of the Statue of
Liberty,
the United Nations Headquarters and the
unforgettable experience at Madame Tussauds They
were all a dream come true..

Gender Equality (UNSDG)

Spending a week with the National President of JCI India in

itself was an experience which I would cherish forever I was
learning The down-to-earth attitude, the friendship, the
care, it leaves me really speechless. The compassion she has
for the underprivileged and the support she gives to the
women she comes in contact with is something which really
touched my heart. The way she guides you, the way she
motivates you, the way she pushes you forward you dont
realize it till you have achieved it, and you have been
transformed I believe these are the traits of a true leader

The 2016 JCI Global Partnership Summit officially began on

25 July at the Waldorf Astoria, with a keynote address by
Aminata Toure, the former Prime Minister of Senegal. The
second day was filled with stories of inspiration and
motivation from dynamic leaders who have created positive
changes in their countries and across the world, in the JCI
Morning Show: New York City Edition.
The most impressive among them was that of a young girl,
Hannah Godefa, who is the UNICEF National Ambassador to
Ethiopia. When one of her pen friends told her she wouldnt
be able to write to her anymore because she didnt have
pencils, the 7-year old Hannah wondered how it could be
possible when she had so many at home... she started
approaching churches and other institutions to donate
pencils to these children. Since then, she has cultivated a
habit of giving and now is well known for her project, Pencil
Mountain, which has delivered close to half a million pencils
to children in rural Ethiopia.
Another very interesting session
was by Dr Mieko Nishimizu,
Former Vice President, World
Bank Group. She spoke about
Gross National Happiness
(GNH), the philosophy which
has guided the Nation Building
of the Kingdom of Bhutan and
how successful Japanese
business leaders are practicing
GNH as their management
philosophy. The theory is as
simple as this sell happiness to
the customers, not products.
Make Happiness your
business

Before the Summit began, we had an official visit to UN

Women, the UN organisation dedicated to Gender Equality
and the Empowerment of Women. We introduced the
activities JCI India is doing to support the UN Sustainable
Development Goals, especially our flagship project,
Suraksha, and the projects we have been doing to create
awareness on Gender Equality. Since we have been active
members in their working group for the last few months, they
are aware of all our activities here and it was like meeting
family We will be working together to promote the LEAP
framework (Leadership Development; Economic
Empowerment and Skill Development; Action on Ending
Violence against young Women and Girls; Strengthening
Participation) for the empowerment of women.

July 27 & 28 were the days we were eagerly waiting for
The sessions at UN Headquarters
After intense security checks, we entered the 39-story
historical Secretariat Building... It felt really amazing Just
within the premises stood a line of flagpoles where the flags
of all 193 UN member states, as well as the UN Flag, are flown
in English alphabetical order. It was interesting to know that
these flags are raised manually by UN security officers every
weekday morning at 8 am and lowered every evening at
around 4 pm. The complex also displayed iconic sculptures
like the Knotted Gun, called Non Violence, which was a
gift to the UN by the Government of Luxembourg. Inside the
building was a wall with the pictures of all the UN Secretary
Generals... And wherever we went, we could see posters
about the SDGs. Just walking through the corridors made us
feel that Peace is Possible... every wall spoke about peace
and human rights...

We had wonderful sessions in these two days. The JCI and

Global Goals Update by JCI President Paschal Dike and JCI
Secretary General
Arrey Obenson, Peace is Possible
Interactive session, Engaging the Business Sector in Global
Development Panel and Discussion, Developing the JCI
Global Partnership Summit resolution & its presentation All
these sessions were very interesting and thought provoking.

N A L A N D A
The Leader in You

The UN Secretary Generals Envoy on youth, Ahmad

Alhendawi, said that creating awareness about the Global
Goals is very important. The need of the hour is the
engagement of people. The Global Goals cannot be
achieved without local action. Every little action you take in
this organization is moving the Global Goals ahead. He gave
us a few simple tips to apply them in our community
Task No 1: Learn all the Global Goals
Task No 2: Choose one which suits your community
Task No 3: Connect with others
Task No 4: Tell the World what you are doing through
Facebook and Twitter, with suitable hashtags

The feeling is something to be experienced and cannot be

described in words

The icing on the cake was the appearance of Ban ki-Moon

himself for the closing ceremony. It was the moment we were
all waiting for. Excitement and anticipation was heavy in the
air. He came, he spoke, he left, but the impact was made
We had all made a commitment in our hearts
A commitment to create a global impact through
local action

headquarters located in Chikkamagaluru district in the state
of Karnataka, It is the site of the first maha (Sringeri Sharada
Peeta) established by Adi Shankara, Hindu theologian and
exponent of the Advaita Vedanta philosophy, in the 8th
century CE It is located on the banks of the river Tunga and
also a historical Temple (1200 years).
JCI Sringeri is one of the very active LOM in zone XIV. Our LOM
has got a big reputation in the society for producing
fantastic 31- elite group of past presidents. Having a grand
history of 31 years, I JC N.K. Vijayakumar as a president of JCI
Sringeri 2016 feel proud and happy to be part of this beautiful
JCI organization.

Because of all these above donors, we could able to

successfully inaugurate and distribute these Suraksha with
the presence of our beloved NP and our young ZP.
Doing this program this way, we unknowingly created
2 records/histories. Out of 5,564 Taluks in India Sringeri has
become the first Taluk to adopt Suraksha in all the
educational institutions. In India JCI Sringeri has become the
first LOM to install 23 Suraksha at a time. And by this we JCI
Sringeri emerged as the LOM with the highest number of
Suraksha installations throughout JCI India. I thank all my
CGB members, Past Presidents, ZGB members, NGB
members, ZP, NP and Donors who supported me in making
this Suraksha project a grand success.

Fortunately this year I have got a extraordinary Zone

President, and a excellent National President who are
always pushing us towards reaching our goal. The SURAKSHA
which is declared has the National Flagship Program 2016
by our beloved NP is a fantastic program which has a
message promoting; Clean India Drive, Women
Empowerment, Youth Empowerment, Health and Hygiene.
Because of these factors I was motivated and decided to
implement this project in our Taluk. In our Taluk we have 14
High schools, 4 PU Colleges, 2 Degree colleges, 1 Nursing
Institute and related girls Hostels. To install in all these
institutions our requirement was 23 Sanitary Napkin
incinerators i.e. 23 SURAKSHA. Our presentation regarding
Suraksha project to the people of society created a big
impact and we got a huge positive response. The cost of
each Sanitary Napkin Incinerator was Rs. 19,000/-. So total
cost of the project for 23 Suraksha was Rs. 4,37,000/-.
The weight, depth and sensitivity of the project SURAKSHA
made us to receive the donations from different individuals
and organizations easily.

Are you an

spellbound and in awe. I repeat this session only had

information like a 24X7 free receptionist for your enterprise. To
think that One can estimate the quality of training and
information exchanged in ABLE without attending the
program is a phantom conspiracy of the mind? Nope you
need to be an ABLEian to know what is our Academy of
Business Leadership and Excellence.
What happens in ABLE does not stay in ABLE. It is reflected in
an ABLEians life journey and the story of fellowships we have.
Imagine meeting a strong willed person who is unable to see,
has a pacemaker and his hips have had surgery with an aim
to create Diabetes free India. Talk about seeing and living
with strong willed and spirited people like Dr Rajendra
Nandedkar in your team is an experience only ABLE can get
you. If that does not speak volumes imagine a person with an
annual turnover of Rs 500 Crore ironing your shirt! That my
friend is the lesson in humbleness and comradeship that I
learned in ABLE. Every participant along with the faculty is a
sea of knowledge with whom your heart creates a tributary
for life.

ABLE is an acronym for Academy of Business Leadership and
Excellence.
ABLE is held at two center the North center (in which I was
fortunate to participate) and the South center. The
ABLE(NORTH) was held in Gwalior from July 28th to 31st July
2016. One of the Premium training programs of JCI India was
hosted by the energetic and enthusiastic Jcs of JCI Gwalior,
Zone VI under the able leadership of JC Sachin Kurtikar,
National Director Business JCI India who never left sight of the
entire program. I say energetic because be it 4am, 5 am or
11pm or 1am JCI Gwalior President JC Rinkesh Agarwal and
team were present for any requirement at any given time.
ABLE is associated with the most able LOMs of JCI India and
all the 65 JCs participants , the corporate participants and
the faculty attending ABLE (North) 2016 can vouch that the
most able LOM hosted ABLE 2016 (North)showcasing an
example of unbelievable, indomitable spirit of JCs.

N A L A N D A
2016The
we were
fortunatein
enough
Leader
You to

In ABLE,
have met
personalities who have proven their mettle in this sea of
humans. We met and heard Mr Ramashanker Singh,
Chancellor of ITM University. I tell what he has achieved is a
feat worth emulating but his enthusiasm to meet the
ABLEians and learn and share was so great that 102F body
temperature could not deter him. My interaction with
Gaurav Jain, MD ColdEX, India Premier Cold Chain
Company has left an imprint which I share with you. I asked
the young dynamic gentleman how old was he? He replied
a year younger than you. Infer the attitude of this
successful gentleman form the sentence. There is more
learning than I can write in this single sentence spoken by this
gentleman. Further an added advantage is that JCI India
Flagship Programs give you an opportunity to meet great
leaders of our JCI India like the history maker and the first lady
President of JCI India NP JC Sen Rajshree Bhaje, PNP JCI Sen
K. Vallabhdas, chairman of JCI India Foundation and an
inspiration for JCs of India and a host of JCI India leaders
whose presence and ease of accessibility is only possible in
an organization like our JCI.

When I speak of faculty I say few of the best trainers among

the Great JC teaching fraternity are at ABLE such as the
Leader HGF Rajesh Khandelwal, Energetic Dinesh Kapila,
Ultimate Himadri Sinha and Consistent Javed Khan Rana.
Being associated with ABLE for 10years and as pilot faculty for
first time the Leader HGF Rajesh Khandelwals words Dont
get trapped in ants vision tells you about IIM(Innovate,
Integrate and Multiply) the tag line for ABLE (north). As JCs
we should innovate our lives with values instilled in our creed,
integrate it within our daily lives and multiply our selfless
service to society by bringing in positive change. Similarly my
dear friends the ABLE program does the IIM for your business
establishment. Write from the ABLE Kit, every move, every
word is fine tuned to the outmost perfect detail to give you in
3 days what people get in years of learning.

ABLE is JCI India brand for excellence in business and

professional career development and in words of energetic
Dinesh Kapilaji Brand is a word that you own in others mind.
I can proudly say from the day I left Gwalior for my hometown
Shillong, that when we speak of Success in our professional
careers ABLE is the word that comes in mind.

Take an example of a session by Himadriji. The entire

session had only information but left everyone in presence

By Gods grace and blessings of all, we could complete the

project without any challenge. Everything was well planned
and managed. We got support from all the ends and I am
really thankful for that.
Special thanks to Jc Dharini for a good and productive
beginning. That start proved to be of great help to all of us to
move to ahead in the right direction. After that, Jayveer sir
oriented us very well just before the show. We were all very
relaxed and at the same time excited about the project.
Below is the highlight of the project mentioned sequence
wise.

On 13th July, JCI Itoshima organized one day school visit for
all the delegated which was the highlight of the whole APCC
event. They organized various games and activities or
children and served vegetarian lunch for all the participants.
In the evening JCI organized summer festival with all the fun
and enjoyment. There was a grand fireworks and flying
lantern show which amazed everyone present there. There
were free food stalls for everyone and it became a
memorable event for all of us. A big thank you to JCI Itoshima
Japan.
On 14th, APCC team organized a farewell party for all the
JAs with the presentation of bridge club and its song.
Children enjoyed dance, music and fun all together.
On 15th July, sharp 1:30 officials from Onojo city came to
pick up the Indian delegates for the meeting with the Mayor.
We met the mayor of Onojo city for almost 20-25 minutes.
JA Jhanvi and I delivered a speech which was interpreted by
the officials. I handed over the gifts to the mayor from NHQ
and from our side and he became extremely happy with
that. One thanks letter was handed over to him from the
