The much awaited RYLA-cum-Career-Counselling Camp was held on December 20, 2022. Over 400 students along with a few of their teachers from 10 schools in Mulshi Taluka assembled at the venue in Village Male. The RYLA event was a great treat and an inspiring event for them. Many gurus guided them with their motivating words and thoughts to prepare them to enter the vast and challenging world of college and career. The function began with the traditional lighting of the lamp, a welcome song, and offering obeisance to the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. PP Rtn. Madhu Rathi began the proceedings by explaining the purpose of the event — to create awareness about the development of leadership qualities in the students and how they could gain a lot by listening carefully to the speakers. Congratulations are in order to Rtn. President Uday Dharmadhikari, Rtn. PP Madhu Rathi, and PP Dr. Madhavi Vaze for lining up some dynamic and inspiring speakers.

The common thought and take-home message for all the students was that both physical and mental health are essential to becoming a good leader and setting an example for society. For any work or service, physical stamina and mental strength are required, and certain principles and habits have to be followed from one’s school days. RCPC was represented by Rtn. Pres.
