The motivational games related to the topic had strengthened their capacity of understanding and grasping the importance. Group discussions during the last two sessions had made them understand the need of being a peoples leader is much greater than being a traditional leader for the construction of the society. And such a leader should possess the leadership qualities as part of their life and execute better services for the better development of the society, said the resource person.
