Inaugurating the workshop, G.Karthikeyan, Superintendent of Police, Coimbatore Range, said the students should identify the specific skills they would require in their careers and develop them while they were in college. One’s personality was what mattered ultimately, he added.

Good interpersonal relationships, good health, and fitness were also important in developing one’s personality, she added.However, grooming and personality development sessions did not only concentrate on external appearance, even though it formed a chunk of the subject.But, maintaining an orderly appearance every day, certain changes happen within too, she said.The Secretary and Managing Trustee of the college, Ajeet Kumar Lal Mohan, said that the programme would benefit not just the students, but the teachers too.The faculty would have a special session with the expert, he said. The college would conduct such camps every three months. The programme would include yoga, diet and fitness. Interview and communication skills too would be part of the programmes.A handbook on “Grooming and Manners in Everyday Life” was also released.
