We were given this golden opportunity to attend the Digital chaupal organised by St. Dominic Savio college on the 19th of April. It was an  informative visit and thus I am standing here to share with you all the key learnings that we picked from the event. The main theme of the event goes like "School se startup" which basically means how can a student go for a  startup form the school itself. 
The Chaupal was a 6 sessional event organised by one of the alumni of the school itself along with his team.
The event was taken up by many renowned personalities who shared their success stories that inspired us to work more efficiently and effectively.

• First session was taken up by the ex advisor of our chief minister - Mr. Awanish Awasthi. He spoke about the vision of Viksit Bharat. 
• Mr. Pawan Singh Chauhan (chairman of the SR group of Institutes) talked about the first step of the startup -"Idea". He emphasized on 'becoming job givers and not job seekers'. 
• Time management is something really important when it comes to working for a goal. The next session talked of this. Mr Surya Pratap Singh (founder of Funda makers) gave the 4 2 1 trick i.e. invest 4 days of the week for your coachings and mainly board exams, 2 days for preparation of entrance exams like CUET, IPMAT etc. and dedicate 1 day for any course for personality development. This will help  improve your resume. 
• To add a fun element to the chaupal the school also invited Radio jockey Rashi from Radio City 91.2 . It was fun meeting her as we all got into a race to win an IPL match ticket. 
• The last session taken up by Mr. Durgesh tripathi; international rifle shooter, an NCC Cadet & presently doing Ph.D from DRDO
who emphasised on the importance of dedication & sportsmanship
   which he narrated his story immensely influenced us and instilled us with the idea of "never giving up". 

The event was a great success. We really learned a lot many new things. 

(On behalf of all of us I would like to thank our principal for giving such a great chance of learning.)
