Interacted with IPS officrs under training. I also met the officers, allotted to NE Caders.
 After discussions in our Syndicate, we prepared the recommendations to the Seminar on "Resilience in adverse situation". I refereed to a recent article in New York Times on the subject. It defined Resilience. It says that it is more of inner strength than anything else. In the afternoon, 3 Syndicates including ours presented their recommendations to the seminar. Discussions followed.
On request,Venita also addressed the seminar and thanked the Directer and her staff  for excellent arrangements to take care of all of us. We felt at home in NPA. In Mussoorie Reunion of the batch in May along with other services,we felt as if we were guests.
