KOCHI: Honouring Alumini Association Treading Success(HAATS),a project to honour the alumni achievers and celebrities of Cochin Refineries School for their commendable achievements in various walks of life was launched, the other day. Social activist Kiran Bedi inaugurated the event.
Speaking at the interactive session ‘Early Leadership’ with students, Kiran Bedi highlighted the need to inculcate values of time management, diligence and multi tasking. Her session was based on her illustrated biography Kiran Bedi- Making of the Top Cop, which was made available to the students.
Reminding the students of the quality of loyalty and courage, Kiran Bedi shared the anecdote of the confrontation of Duke of England with a boy who was given the responsibility of guarding his father’s farm house. ‘’ When the Duke arrived at the gate, he revealed his identity to the boy. However, he refused to open the gate thereby obeying his father’s command. “That conscientious courage and loyalty exhibited by the boy should be the driving force in each child,” Bedi said.
